5 / 139 resultscommunity Minoxidil is a 5ar inhibitor according to research
Minoxidil may inhibit androgen receptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.
community A New Therapeutic Channel to Come Soon: Hair Follicle Sugar Metabolism and Aldose Reductase
Hair loss therapies focusing on hair follicle sugar metabolism and aldose reductase. Potential treatments include magnesium supplements, avoiding high glycemic index foods, and antioxidants.
community REVOLUTION in AUGUST: New possibilities according to Dr. Muñoz (pinacidil, cromakalim, diazoxide and nicorandil)
Dr. Muñoz's discovery suggests that targeting potassium channels in fibroblasts could reactivate hair growth, offering new treatment possibilities for alopecia. Potential strategies include using minoxidil, diazoxide, and other potassium channel openers, as well as bioelectric devices and direct growth factor applications.
community Creatine, my hair loss, and my DHT levels. An anecdote with lab values.
Increased hair loss after starting a 10g daily creatine regimen, possibly linked to elevated DHT levels despite dutasteride use. Stopping creatine reduced shedding, but the exact cause is uncertain, with discussions on exercise and lifestyle impacts.
community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
