Glossary Circadian Clock Genes

regulate body's internal 24-hour biological rhythms

Circadian clock genes are a group of genes that regulate the body's internal biological clock, which follows a roughly 24-hour cycle. These genes influence various physiological processes, including sleep-wake cycles, hormone release, and even hair growth patterns, by controlling the timing of cellular activities.

community Circadian rhythm disruption and its potential impact on hair growth cycles

in Technology 7 upvotes 4 months ago

Poor sleep quality may affect hair growth cycles by disrupting the body's natural clock and stress hormones. The focus should be on improving sleep to support overall health, including hair growth, rather than relying solely on treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841.

community How long does it take after an environmental / lifestyle change for hair loss to actually slow down?

5 upvotes 11 months ago

Lifestyle changes may not significantly impact hair loss, as factors like DHT and genetics play a larger role. Some users suggest treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and microneedling for hair growth.

community Why I Take 5mg Minoxidil at Night Instead of Splitting 2.5mg

9 upvotes 3 months ago

Taking 5mg oral minoxidil at night instead of splitting 2.5mg doses, with the rationale that a single larger dose may provide a stronger activation for hair follicles and reduce peak-related side effects. Some users report sleep issues with nighttime dosing, while others find it beneficial; opinions on effectiveness and side effects vary.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
