research The Wnt inhibitor, Dickkopf 4, is induced by canonical Wnt signaling during ectodermal appendage morphogenesis

96 citations , March 2007 in “Developmental biology”

This study found that the Wnt inhibitor Dkk4 may play a role in regulating hair follicle development through a feedback loop with canonical Wnt signaling pathways.

research Dihydrotestosterone-Inducible Dickkopf 1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Causes Apoptosis in Follicular Keratinocytes

171 citations , July 2007 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

The researchers reported that DHT-inducible DKK-1 may play a significant role in DHT-driven balding by inhibiting hair follicle cell growth and promoting apoptosis in androgenetic alopecia.

research Preventable effect of L-threonate, an ascorbate metabolite, on androgen-driven balding via repression of dihydrotestosteroneinduced dickkopf-1 expression in human hair dermal papilla cells

31 citations , October 2010 in “BMB Reports”

In this study, L-threonate was found to inhibit DHT-induced DKK-1 expression in cultured dermal papilla cells, suggesting it could help prevent androgen-driven balding.

L-Ascorbic Acid 2-Phosphate Represses Dihydrotestosterone-Induced Dickkopf-1 Expression in Human Balding Dermal Papilla Cells

research I‐Ascorbic acid 2‐phosphate represses the dihydrotestosterone‐induced dickkopf‐1 expression in human balding dermal papilla cells

13 citations , November 2010 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate could reduce DHT-induced DKK-1 expression in balding scalp cells, suggesting potential for treating androgen-driven hair loss.

research Assessment of tissue levels of dickkopf-1 in androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata

10 citations , July 2015 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology”

This study found elevated tissue levels of DKK-1 in patients with both androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata compared to controls, suggesting DKK-1 as a potential therapeutic target for these conditions.

community Prevention of age-related beard graying in humans by the topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract

5 upvotes 4 years ago

Topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract can prevent and reverse age-related beard graying and darken gray hair by increasing melanin production. Sterubin, a component of the extract, also promotes hair pigmentation and protects cells from DNA damage.

community NMN Promotes Cell Proliferation and Hair Growth by Reducing Oxidative Stress

14 upvotes 2 years ago

NMN shows promise in promoting hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and weakening androgens. It may be a beneficial addition to hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.

community Dht kills hair, but no one says why?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 40 upvotes 1 year ago

DHT affects hair follicles, contributing to hair loss, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss, though they may have side effects and varying effectiveness.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

140 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
