Glossary Endocrine Therapy-Induced Alopecia

hair loss caused by treatments that alter hormone levels

Endocrine Therapy-Induced Alopecia, also known as Hormone Therapy-Induced Alopecia, refers to hair loss that occurs as a side effect of treatments that alter hormone levels, commonly used in managing cancers like breast or prostate cancer. These therapies, such as tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors, disrupt the normal hormonal balance, leading to thinning hair or baldness.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 10 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.

community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

675 upvotes 1 year ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 1 year ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

community Finally, some real breakthroughs. A comparison of the two leading baldness treatments: PP405 versus ABS-201

106 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 and ABS-201 are promising treatments for male pattern baldness. PP405 shows rapid hair growth in human trials, while ABS-201 shows significant regrowth in animal studies but is still in early human trials.

community P-1075: a BETTER version of Minoxidil

11 months ago

P-1075 is a more potent hair growth agent than Minoxidil, but it poses significant heart risks, making it unsafe for use. Despite promising results in macaques, concerns about its cardiotoxicity in rats have halted its development.

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn Estradiol

an estrogen promoting hair regrowth more commonly used in women

How does topical Estradiol compare to oral Estradiol in treating alopecia? Topical estradiol delivers hormone to the scalp with less systemic exposure, but evidence is thin and it is still a hormone. It needs a doctor's supervision, and people with estrogen-sensitive cancers must not use it without medical approval.
Is applying Estradiol directly to the scalp effective for hormone-related hair thinning? Applying Estradiol directly to the scalp may help with hormone-related hair thinning.

learn TDM-105795

What types of alopecia or hair loss conditions might TDM-105795 be designed to target based on current research? TDM-105795 may target non-scarring alopecia, particularly androgenetic alopecia.

learn Bimatoprost

a synthetic prostamide used to treat eyelashes also shows promise for stimulating hair growth on scalp

Is bimatoprost effective for people with alopecia areata? Bimatoprost may stimulate hair growth but lacks strong evidence for alopecia areata.

learn Baricitinib

JAK inhibitor that reduces inflammation and immune attacks on hair follicles, leading to potential hair regrowth, especially in alopecia areata cases

learn GHK-Cu

Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.
