Association Between Stress and Bilateral Symmetrical Alopecia in Free-Ranging Formosan Macaques in a High-Population-Density Area

research Association Between Stress and Bilateral Symmetrical Alopecia in Free-Ranging Formosan Macaques (Macaca Cyclopis) in A High-Population-Density Area

March 2021 in “Research Square (Research Square)”

This study found that stress is likely the main cause of symmetrical alopecia in Formosan macaques, with higher stress hormone levels observed in affected individuals.

research Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for doping control of 5α-reductase inhibitors finasteride and dutasteride

10 citations , May 2010 in “Analytica Chimica Acta”

This study reported the development of two highly sensitive ELISA assays to detect banned substances finasteride and dutasteride in human urine, offering better sensitivity than existing HPLC/MS/MS methods.

Force-Triggered Density Gradient Sedimentation and Cocktail Enzyme Digestion Treatment for Isolation of Single Dermal Papilla Cells from Follicular Unit Extraction Harvesting Human Hair Follicles

research Force-triggered density gradient sedimentation and cocktail enzyme digestion treatment for isolation of single dermal papilla cells from follicular unit extraction harvesting human hair follicles

October 2024

This study found that new methods for isolating human dermal papilla cells were more efficient than traditional methods, maintaining higher levels of specific markers and improving the cells' research potential.

Structural and Functional Studies of L-PGDS and SMPDL3A Enzymes in Lipid Signaling Family

research Structural & functional studies of L-PGDS and SMPDL3A enzymes in lipid signaling family

October 2019

This study explored the structure and function of lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase, revealing its dual role in substrate catalysis and as a lipophilic ligand carrier, potentially informing future drug delivery design.

research Association between stress and bilateral symmetrical alopecia in free-ranging Formosan macaques in Mt. Longevity, Taiwan

2 citations , May 2021 in “Scientific Reports”

community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 41 upvotes 2 years ago

Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.

community Why some people experience problems on Finasteride/Dutasteride (my theory)

in Research/Science 18 upvotes 9 months ago

Some people have side effects from finasteride and dutasteride due to hormonal predisposition, especially if DHT dominant. Alternatives like RU58841, Pyrilutamide, and Breezula are suggested to target scalp androgen receptors without altering overall hormones.

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

76 upvotes 2 years 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 The Fear of Oral Minoxidil is Overblown

272 upvotes 1 year ago

Low-dose oral minoxidil is a safe and effective hair loss treatment with fewer side effects than previously feared. Users often prefer it over topical minoxidil for better results, though some experience side effects like increased body hair and cardiovascular issues.

community My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia

97 upvotes 6 years ago

Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.

learn procapil

Want to stop hormonal hair loss without touching your hormone levels? Procapil could block the enzyme doing the damage. Procapil's supplier describes it as inhibiting 5-alpha reductase at the scalp without changing hormone levels, but the published support is cell and animal work plus one small human study of a caffeine-plus-Procapil formula. It is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss treatment, and no trial has compared it with finasteride or minoxidil.
