research Blinding in Placebo-Controlled Trials

1 citations , June 2001 in “Annals of Internal Medicine”

This letter challenges an interpretation of results from a zinc lozenge trial that suggested patient perceptions of receiving treatment might indicate effective blinding, arguing this only holds for crossover studies.

research Blinding in Placebo-Controlled Trials

June 2001 in “Annals of Internal Medicine”

This commentary discusses challenges in maintaining proper blinding in placebo-controlled trials, illustrated by a study where zinc and placebo lozenges were nearly indistinguishable in taste by participants.

research Binding of Steroid Hormones by the 105,000 x g Supernatant Fraction from Homogenates of Rat Skin and Variations during the Hair Cycle

35 citations , September 1972 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry”

This study observed that the binding of certain hormones in rat skin varies cyclically with the hair cycle phases, with testosterone showing maximum binding in the catagen phase.

research Binding Interactions of Keratin-Based Hair Fiber Extract to Gold, Keratin, and BMP-2

22 citations , August 2015 in “PloS one”

This study found that the binding and release of BMP-2 from kerateine biomaterials are significantly influenced by pH and salt concentration, highlighting the potential for developing improved bone repair systems.

research Estrogen regulates the expression of retinoic acid synthesis enzymes and binding proteins in mouse skin

3 citations , August 2021 in “Nutrition research”

This study suggests that estrogen regulates vitamin A metabolism in skin tissues in a sex-dependent manner, which may have implications for treating acne, hair loss, and skin immunity.

community What is fluridil binding affinity?

5 upvotes 4 years ago

Fluridil is hard to obtain and only available in Slovakia and Czechia, with no systemic side effects but possibly limited effectiveness compared to finasteride. The original poster is using finasteride and minoxidil without success and is considering trying fluridil despite its cost.

community Cold and Japanese researchers. The Japanese began to suspect something. But they understood the mechanism to some extent. ( Cold shock therapy promotes hair growth in association with upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein and vascular endothelial growth factor).

36 upvotes 1 year ago

Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth, but cold alone is not effective. Combining treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, cold showers, spicy foods, and exercise may enhance results.

community RU58841 vs. KX-826 vs. CB-03-01

16 upvotes 3 months ago

RU58841 shows the strongest results despite weaker binding affinity, while KX-826 and CB-03-01 are more expensive and have minimal side effects. RU58841 is considered effective but has potential health risks if ingested; users report positive outcomes with RU58841 and finasteride.

community Counter-update: Cbum's transplant DOESNT look super good now

223 upvotes 1 year ago

Cbum's hair transplant is criticized for looking unnatural and not blending well, with some suggesting better results were expected given his resources. Discussions also cover the effects of steroids and finasteride on hair loss and muscle growth.

community Why was fluridil abandoned and never made past phase 2?

5 upvotes 4 years ago

Fluridil was abandoned due to its weak effectiveness and low binding affinity to the androgen receptor, making it less competitive against DHT and testosterone. Users discuss its limited results compared to other treatments like pyrilutamide and RU58841.
