    GlossaryGlycogen Synthase Kinase-3 Inhibitor (GSK3 Inhibitor)

    compound that blocks the enzyme GSK-3, affecting cell processes

    A Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 Inhibitor (GSK-3 Inhibitor) is a type of compound that blocks the activity of the enzyme glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3). This enzyme is involved in various cellular processes, including the regulation of glycogen metabolism, cell division, and signaling pathways. Inhibiting GSK-3 has potential therapeutic applications for conditions like Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer, as well as promoting hair growth in cases of alopecia.

      community I had claude create a protocol only using fda approved drugs.

      in Research/Science 1 day ago
      A new hair loss protocol using FDA-approved topical treatments targets eight pathways, potentially improving results by 60-75% compared to the standard 40-50% from oral minoxidil and finasteride. The protocol includes minoxidil, finasteride, tacrolimus, cetirizine, bimatoprost, lithium gluconate, losartan, melatonin, NAC, caffeine, and tretinoin, with a monthly cost of $35-50 in Mexico and $80-150 in the US.

      community Better Than Minoxidil? Topical Sodium Valproate

      in Research/Science  50 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.

      community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia

      DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
