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 51 upvotes 10 months 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.
