GlossaryDorsal Skin

skin on the back of an organism

Dorsal skin refers to the skin located on the back of an organism, including humans. It is typically thicker and less sensitive than the skin on the front of the body, providing protection and support. This area is also rich in hair follicles and sebaceous glands, which play a role in thermoregulation and skin health.

community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video

in Research/Science 74 upvotes 5 months ago

Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.

community How to know if shedding is from tren or minoxidil?

in Minoxidil 5 upvotes 8 months ago

The user started using trenbolone and minoxidil simultaneously and experienced increased hair shedding, unsure which is causing it. Replies suggest both drugs could cause hair loss, with one advising to stop trenbolone to protect hair and another indicating minoxidil is unlikely the cause due to the timing.
