    GlossaryGamma Rays (gamma radiation)

    form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation from atomic nuclei decay

    Gamma rays, also known as γ-rays, are a form of electromagnetic radiation with the highest energy and shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. They are produced by the decay of atomic nuclei and are capable of penetrating most materials, making them useful in medical imaging and cancer treatment, but also requiring careful handling due to their potential to cause cellular damage.

      community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

      in Research  830 upvotes 1 year ago
      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.

      community Has anyone here tried taking GLA supplements?

      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 You will lose hair if your prostaglandins aren't in balance

      in Research/Science  58 upvotes 7 months ago
      Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hair follicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.
