research Fibroblast Growth Factor-9 Enhances M2 Macrophage Differentiation and Attenuates Adverse Cardiac Remodeling in the Infarcted Diabetic Heart

44 citations , March 2015 in “PLOS ONE”

This study found that FGF-9 treatment in diabetic mice improved heart function after myocardial infarction by decreasing monocyte infiltration and promoting anti-inflammatory macrophage differentiation.

research Alopecia Areata is Associated with Increased Expression of Heart Disease Biomarker Cardiac Troponin I

19 citations , January 2018 in “Acta dermato-venereologica”

In this study, the researchers observed that subjects with alopecia areata had the highest plasma level of cardiac troponin I, followed by those with androgenetic alopecia, and the lowest levels in individuals without hair loss.

research 1300 Blood plasma levels of heart disease biomarker cardiac troponin I are significantly increased in alopecia areata affected individuals

April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that plasma cardiac troponin I levels were highest in subjects with alopecia areata, potentially indicating increased heart remodeling and a need for close cardiovascular monitoring in these individuals.

research Serum dihydrotestosterone levels are associated with adverse myocardial remodeling in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis before and after aortic valve replacement

4 citations , October 2022 in “American journal of physiology. Heart and circulatory physiology”

This study found that in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis, higher serum dihydrotestosterone levels were associated with increased myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and reduced left ventricular function.

research Cutaneous Response to Injury and Wound Healing

October 2016

This review discusses the complex process of wound healing and emerging areas of interest in wound treatment, reporting no new clinical findings.

community The Biggest Concern That I Have For Oral Minoxidil: Cardiac Hypertrophy

26 upvotes 3 years ago

Oral minoxidil can cause serious heart issues like cardiac hypertrophy and arrhythmias, prompting some users to reduce dosage or switch to topical treatments. Despite significant hair regrowth, side effects such as shortness of breath and chest pains are common concerns.

community Collagen peptides: Yay or nay?

5 upvotes 6 years ago

Collagen peptides may help with hair growth, but results vary; some users noticed less hair fall and improved nail strength. Minoxidil is suggested for regaining hair thickness lost from accutane.

community Day 155 of 5mg oral minoxidil + 0,5mg oral dutasteride daily

in Progress Pictures 103 upvotes 7 months ago

A user shared progress on hair regrowth using 5mg oral minoxidil and 0.5mg oral dutasteride daily, noting small hair growth and no significant side effects except bushier eyebrows. The conversation includes encouragement, personal experiences with hair loss treatments, and discussions on the effectiveness of microneedling.

community Copper Peptides—Discussion

4 upvotes 7 years ago

Copper peptides, specifically GHK-Cu, are discussed as a potential addition to hair loss treatments, possibly working synergistically with Minoxidil to convert vellus hair into terminal hair. The effectiveness and credibility of copper peptides are questioned due to the lack of widespread discussion and potential conflict of interest from the product's creator.

community How to Keep Your Hair on Steroids

25 upvotes 2 years ago

To minimize hair loss while using steroids, use finasteride or dutasteride and apply topical anti-androgens like RU58841. Avoid high doses of hair-toxic steroids; prefer testosterone, nandrolone, and boldenone.

learn Osteopontin

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

learn GHK-Cu

Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.

learn capsicum

Can the heat from capsicum actually wake up dormant hair follicles? Capsicum heat may stimulate dormant hair follicles through increased blood flow and growth factors.

learn Minoxidil

What are the side effects of minoxidil, and can oral minoxidil affect your heart? Minoxidil can cause side effects, and because it was designed as a blood-pressure drug, some of them involve the heart and circulation. Published studies of low-dose oral minoxidil describe mostly mild problems, but fluid around the heart, pericarditis and other serious events have been reported, and the long-term picture is still being studied. Do not start, stop or change minoxidil without a doctor, and if you develop chest pain, a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, fainting, swelling or rapid weight gain while using it, stop and seek medical care.
