GlossaryGlycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK-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 The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

in Research/Science 667 upvotes 1 month ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

community (26M) My 3 months progress on hair loss treatment. Extremely happy with the results. I have included so many details about my stack, my experience during the treatment, progress pictures, and everything I did during this time period.

in Progress Pictures 27 upvotes 1 year ago

A user's 3-month progress report on their treatment of hair loss using a stack of finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil, with additional supplements, diet and workout routine, and before-and-after photos.

community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 41 upvotes 3 months ago

Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.

community Why is dutasteride approved for hair loss in Japan and South Korea but not for USA?

in Research/Science 34 upvotes 2 years ago

The reasoning for GSK's approval of dutasteride for hair loss in Japan and South Korea but not the US, with alternatives such as finasteride, minoxidil and RU58841 mentioned.

community Rate my dutasteride stock on 10

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 115 upvotes 1 year ago
