GlossaryGlycogen Synthase Kinase 3

enzyme involved in regulating cell functions and signaling pathways

Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK-3) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including the regulation of glycogen synthesis, cell division, and cell survival. It is involved in multiple signaling pathways and can influence conditions like diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and even hair growth by affecting cellular functions and gene expression.

community Better Than Minoxidil? Topical Sodium Valproate

in Research/Science 50 upvotes 1 year ago

Topical sodium valproate may promote hair growth by inhibiting GSK3β, allowing beta-catenin to proliferate, but it has potential side effects and requires more research. The conversation also mentions skepticism about a product called Vdphlo1, which includes sodium valproate and other ingredients.

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

in Research/Science 486 upvotes 1 year ago

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

community AGA responded to steroid shots? Biopsy wrong? Please help!

in Female 2 upvotes 1 year ago

A woman with AGA is using spironolactone, dutasteride, finasteride, oral minoxidil, bicalutamide, and anti-androgenic birth control but still experiences worsening hair loss. Steroid shots temporarily stop her hair shedding, leading her to question her biopsy results.

community If Minoxidil Beards are permanent, why should Finasteride be unable to keep Minoxidil Gains on the scalp?

in Minoxidil 104 upvotes 3 years ago

Whether Finasteride can keep alive the hair gained by Minoxidil after quitting it, and why beard hairs are not as susceptible to miniaturization. It is suggested that scalp hair may be dependent on Minoxidil and that DHT could be countered with Finasteride to some extent, but there is no definitive data proving this.
