research Clinical application of hair protein glycation in the assessment of blood glucose control and diabetic neuropathy.

6 citations , February 1989 in “PubMed”

This study suggests that glycation of hair proteins in diabetic patients may serve as a useful indicator of long-term blood glucose trends and associations with diabetic complications.

research Glycation of hair protein in the assessment of long-term control of blood glucose.

6 citations , January 1988 in “Japanese Journal of Medicine”

This study suggests that measuring glycation in hair may serve as a useful indicator of long-term blood glucose control in diabetic patients.

research Hair protein glycation as a long-term index of blood glucose in diabetics

5 citations , October 1988 in “Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice”

Hair glycation can indicate long-term blood sugar trends in diabetics.

research Can a glycated hair protein assay be a non-invasive indicator of blood glucose control? - Assessing the influence of sample mass and chemical hair treatments

January 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)”

This study found that glycated proteins in untreated scalp hair may serve as a non-invasive marker for blood glucose control, but its applicability is limited by factors like cosmetic treatments and sample collection challenges.

research The Carnivore Follicular Integrity Framework (CFIF): An Evolutionary-Mechanistic Model of Hair Follicle Stability, Regenerative Peptide Biology (GHK-Cu), and Anti-Glycation Microvascular Protection

August 2026

This theoretical research project proposes the Carnivore Follicular Integrity Framework, suggesting that animal-based diets may support hair follicle stability through various evolutionary and mechanistic pathways.

community Is 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) good for human hair?

8 upvotes 2 years ago

Topical 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) regrows hair in mice almost as well as 2% Minoxidil. However, 2dDR may contribute to oxidative stress and hair loss due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

community Scientists May Have Accidentally Found a Way to Reverse Hair Loss Without Drugs

877 upvotes 1 year ago

2-deoxy-D-ribose is being explored as a hair loss treatment but is not proven effective in humans and may be costly and inconvenient. Minoxidil remains the most effective treatment.

community Do we have to be junkies? That's funny

14 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses using finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, cialis, and metformin to protect hair and health. Some users caution against self-prescribing these drugs due to potential risks and complications.

community Whey protein and hair loss

6 upvotes 9 years ago

Whey protein does not cause hair loss; concerns are likely unfounded. The user is on finasteride and minoxidil but sees no improvement, so they are phasing out these treatments while continuing to work out and use whey protein.

community Shampoo + Protein shake causing hair shedding?

in Ketoconazole 1 year ago

The user started using ketoconazole shampoo and whey protein shakes and noticed increased hair shedding, seeking advice on whether these could be the cause. Another user shared their experience with hair loss after starting protein shakes and mentioned using finasteride, which eventually improved their hair condition.

learn SCUBE3

What is SCUBE3 and why is it being studied as a potential breakthrough for hair regrowth? SCUBE3 is a signaling protein being studied for its potential to promote hair regrowth.
How does SCUBE3 work on hair follicles compared to treatments like minoxidil or finasteride? Laboratory research in mice reports that SCUBE3, a protein released by dermal papilla cells, signals dormant follicles to grow through the TGF-β pathway downstream of Hedgehog; minoxidil and finasteride instead work on blood flow to the follicle and on DHT, and unlike SCUBE3 they have decades of human trial data behind them. SCUBE3 has not been tested in human clinical trials and is not available as a medicine.

learn L-cysteine

What is L-cysteine, and why is it often included in hair growth supplements? L-cysteine supports hair growth by strengthening keratin, the main protein in hair.

learn Follistatin

glycoprotein that inhibits TGF-β and promotes hair growth by antagonizing activin

What is follistatin, and how does it influence hair follicle growth and regeneration? Follistatin blocks activin and related growth-inhibiting proteins, which in laboratory and animal work is described as keeping hair follicles in their growth phase; the only verifiable human evidence is a single small 2011 phase 1 injection trial, so follistatin remains experimental and is not an approved hair-loss treatment.

signaling protein that, when suppressed, may grow hair by reducing inflammation and stem cell loss

supplement to help with hair texture and quality

learn Exosomes

Microscopic delivery system that sends growth-promoting signals to hair follicles
