GlossaryGlycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Beta (GSK3B)

enzyme regulating cell signaling, metabolism, and various cellular processes

Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Beta (GSK-3β) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including the regulation of glycogen synthesis, cell division, and signaling pathways. It is involved in the control of several biological functions and has been linked to conditions such as diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and certain types of cancer.

community Better Than Minoxidil? Topical Sodium Valproate

in Research/Science 51 upvotes 1 month 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 VDPHL-01 is Overrated and Ridiculous. This is just Oral Minoxidil.

in Research/Science 22 upvotes 1 month ago

VDPHL-01 is essentially a slow-release oral minoxidil, which is already known to work for hair growth. The formulation includes other ingredients like Medrogestone, Valproic acid, Setipiprant, and Cetirizine, but their effectiveness and necessity are questioned.

community (30M) 9 weeks progress on Hims, Minoxidil, RU 58841, 1.5 Derma Stamp and supplements

in Progress Pictures 20 upvotes 10 months ago

A user reports using Hims (with finasteride and minoxidil), Kirkland Minoxidil 5%, RU58841, and derma stamping for hair loss and seeks feedback on their 9-week progress, particularly for growth around the temples and crown.

community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

in Technology 6 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.
