research Can a glycated hair protein assay be a non-invasive indicator of blood glucose control? - Assessing the influence of sample mass and chemical hair treatments

January 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)”

This study found that glycated proteins in untreated scalp hair may serve as a non-invasive marker for blood glucose control, but its applicability is limited by factors like cosmetic treatments and sample collection challenges.

research Clinical application of hair protein glycation in the assessment of blood glucose control and diabetic neuropathy.

6 citations , February 1989 in “PubMed”

This study suggests that glycation of hair proteins in diabetic patients may serve as a useful indicator of long-term blood glucose trends and associations with diabetic complications.

research Glycation of hair protein in the assessment of long-term control of blood glucose.

6 citations , January 1988 in “Japanese Journal of Medicine”

This study suggests that measuring glycation in hair may serve as a useful indicator of long-term blood glucose control in diabetic patients.

research Love is in the hair: arginine methylation of human hair proteins as novel cardiovascular biomarkers

7 citations , June 2021 in “Amino acids”

This study found that protein arginine methylation levels in human hair may correlate with a cardiovascular biomarker in blood, suggesting hair sampling as a potential non-invasive method for cardiovascular risk assessment.

research Stress-sensing in the human greying hair follicle: Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) depletion in hair bulb melanocytes in canities-prone scalp

14 citations , October 2020 in “Scientific reports”

This study found that ATM protein plays a crucial role in protecting human hair follicle melanocytes from oxidative stress, which is linked to the greying of hair.

glycoprotein that inhibits TGF-β and promotes hair growth by antagonizing activin

learn Biotin

Biotinyl-GHK: a miracle ingredient against hair loss? Biotinyl-GHK (biotinoyl tripeptide-1) is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss medicine; the published studies test it only inside multi-ingredient complexes such as Procapil, so no result can be attributed to the peptide itself.

learn sh-Polypeptide-7

How does sh-Polypeptide-7 help stimulate hair follicle activity or reduce scalp inflammation? sh-Polypeptide-7 is the INCI name for a lab-made form of human growth hormone (somatotropin) — not EGF, which is sh-Oligopeptide-1. Growth hormone and IGF-1 signalling is documented in hair follicle biology, but there is no published human trial of sh-Polypeptide-7 applied to the scalp for hair growth or scalp inflammation.

learn GHK-Cu

What is GHK-Cu and why is it said to be a "miracle" for hair? GHK-Cu is a copper peptide studied mainly for wound healing and skin repair; for hair loss the evidence stops at cell-culture and animal work, and no published human trial has tested it for androgenetic alopecia.

learn Glycerin

What role does glycerin play in scalp hydration and overall hair health? Glycerin hydrates the scalp by drawing moisture to the skin and hair.
