research Abnormal essential fatty acid composition of tissue lipids in genetically diabetic mice is partially corrected by dietary linoleic and γ-linolenic acids
This study found that in genetically diabetic mice, supplementation with safflower or evening primrose oil prevented the decrease in certain fatty acids and improved skin conditions, but increased plasma glucose levels.
research The extract of Thujae occidentalis semen inhibited 5α-reductase and androchronogenetic alopecia of B6CBAF1/j hybrid mouse
This study showed that Thujae occidentalis semen extract inhibited 5alpha-reductase type 2 in laboratory tests and reduced androgen-related hair loss in animal models, suggesting potential use for male pattern baldness.
research TGFβ signaling regulates lipogenesis in human sebaceous glands cells
This study found that TGFβ signaling is essential for keeping sebocytes undifferentiated by reducing lipid-related gene expression, using a novel human sebocyte culture model.

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.
community Brotzu lotion update
A new hair loss lotion by Dr. Brotzu, expected to regrow up to 5 years of lost hair, is set to be released by Fidia Farmaceutici. It claims to work like minoxidil and finasteride without side effects, but skepticism exists due to its classification as a cosmetic product.
community Targeting multiple AGA mechanisms with commonly available substances
The conversation discusses using a multimodal approach to treat androgenic alopecia, including substances like gamma-linolenic acid, DHA, sulforaphane, melatonin, cetirizine, astaxanthin, fisetin, apigenin, curcumin, limonene, genistein, and berberine. Users also mention using ketoconazole, minoxidil, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as part of their hair loss treatment regimens.
community A person advised me to use pumpkin seed oil instead of minoxidil?
Pumpkin seed oil is not a substitute for minoxidil; it acts more like finasteride as a DHT blocker. Minoxidil is necessary for hair growth, and combining it with treatments like PRP or saw palmetto may be beneficial.
