    GlossaryGamma-Aminobutyric Acid

    neurotransmitter that inhibits nerve activity, promoting relaxation

    Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid, commonly known as GABA, is a neurotransmitter in the brain that inhibits nerve transmission, helping to regulate nervous system activity and reduce neuronal excitability. It plays a crucial role in promoting relaxation and reducing stress, and imbalances in GABA levels are associated with conditions like anxiety, epilepsy, and insomnia.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      GLA may help with hair loss due to its anti-inflammatory properties and 5ar enzyme inhibition. It's considered potentially more important than biotin, especially for those already using finasteride and dutasteride.
