research Impact of metformin and rosiglitazone treatment on glucose transporter 4 mRNA expression in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

40 citations , April 2008 in “European journal of endocrinology”

In this study, treatment with insulin sensitizers significantly increased adipose tissue GLUT4 mRNA expression and improved insulin resistance, menstrual patterns, and androgen profiles in PCOS patients, with rosiglitazone being more effective than metformin.

research Human Hair Follicle Stem/Progenitor Cells Express Hypoxia Markers

33 citations , March 2013 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

Human hair follicle stem cells show signs of low oxygen levels, which may be important for hair growth and preventing baldness.

The Postnatal Offspring of Finasteride-Treated Male Rats Shows Hyperglycemia, Elevated Hepatic Glycogen Storage, and Altered GLUT2, IR, and AR Expression in the Liver

research The Postnatal Offspring of Finasteride-Treated Male Rats Shows Hyperglycaemia, Elevated Hepatic Glycogen Storage and Altered GLUT2, IR, and AR Expression in the Liver

6 citations , January 2021 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”

This study suggests that finasteride treatment in male rats can lead to changes in liver carbohydrate metabolism and may result in metabolic disruptions and liver steatosis in their offspring.

research Keratins as mediators of glucose sensing in the pancreas

January 2024 in “Doria (University of Helsinki)”

This study found that in mouse pancreatic β-cells, the disruption of keratin filaments due to a specific mutation in keratin 18 resulted in altered GLUT2 localization, with less GLUT2 present on the plasma membrane compared to cells with normal keratin.

research The role of glucose metabolism in wound healing: an overview

3 citations , January 2025 in “Burns & Trauma”

In this review, the authors describe how glucose metabolism supports various stages of wound healing by providing energy and necessary substances, noting that abnormal glucose metabolism in chronic wounds increases oxidative stress and inflammation, significantly hindering healing.

community Update about Hair Follicle Glucose Metabolism: New Clinical Data Collection with Ex-President Of American Board Of Hair Restoration Surgery.

39 upvotes 2 years ago

David Barreto shared that a London-based research group is conducting a 12-month trial for a new nutraceutical treatment for pattern hair loss, designed with Dr. Carlos Puig. The trial aims to provide robust data, with results expected in 1-2 years, potentially representing a significant advancement since finasteride’s introduction in 1997.

community Are carbohydrates needed for hair growth

26 upvotes 2 years ago

A 47-year-old male experienced significant hair loss after losing 37 kg in 6 months on a low-carb diet and started taking biotin, zinc, iron, selenium, and spectral dcn-n. Replies suggest that while carbs are not directly needed for hair growth, they help regulate hormones and nutrient absorption, and rapid weight loss can also contribute to hair loss.

community PP405 Won't Work Long Term: Hair Follicle Damage Due to Abuse of the ISR System

67 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 may damage hair follicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.

community PP405 is NOT gray market jxl069

in Technology 26 upvotes 8 months ago

PP405 is a safer alternative to JXL069 for hair loss treatment because it penetrates the skin effectively and degrades in the blood, avoiding systemic toxicity. JXL069, when forced into the body, can cause dangerous side effects like lactic acidosis due to its inability to degrade safely.

community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001) Pt 2

484 upvotes 2 years ago

Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
