research Effects of in vivo-administered 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin on receptor binding of epidermal growth factor in the hepatic plasma membrane of rat, guinea pig, mouse, and hamster.

164 citations , December 1984 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences”

This study found that TCDD significantly reduced EGF receptor binding in various animal models, linked to toxic symptoms like weight loss and developmental delays, with receptor phosphorylation persisting several days.

research Hematological and hepatic effects of vascular epidermal growth factor (VEGF) used to stimulate hair growth in an animal model

30 citations , October 2013 in “BMC dermatology”

In this animal study, topical VEGF gel increased hair growth and thickness in Mesocricetus auratus, although it was not completely inert, highlighting the need for further toxicity confirmation.

research 2,3,7,8‐Tetrachlorodibenzo‐p‐dioxin causes an increase in protein kinases growth hepatic associated with epidermal factor receptor in the plasma membrane

60 citations , December 1988 in “Journal of Biochemical Toxicology”

In this study, TCDD administered to male rats down-regulated EGF receptor in liver plasma membranes and increased protein kinase activity, suggesting EGF receptor–mediated toxicological effects.

research Expression and Function of FGF5 Isoform in Hair Growth

1 citations , February 2021 in “Scholars international journal of anatomy and physiology”

In a laboratory setting, this study found that overexpression of the FGF5 short form in cultured keratinocytes increased hepatic growth factor gene expression, suggesting a potential role in hair growth.

research Dynamic Plasticity of Axons within a Cutaneous Milieu

79 citations , November 2010 in “Journal of Neuroscience”

In this study, researchers found that simple hair clipping in mice induced dynamic plasticity and axogenesis in skin sensory axons, linked to follicular activation and HGF signaling.

community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism

in Research/Science 194 upvotes 1 year ago

Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.

community 1 year of 1mg finasteride a day

in Progress Pictures 305 upvotes 11 months ago

The user has been taking 1mg of finasteride daily for a year, maintaining hair density without regrowth. They are considering oral minoxidil for regrowth, avoiding topical minoxidil due to its toxicity to cats, despite concerns about heart side effects.

community How is dht not beneficial to you?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 111 upvotes 7 months ago

DHT is important for sexual function and mood, but finasteride and dutasteride can reduce DHT, causing side effects like reduced libido and erectile dysfunction. These treatments are effective for hair loss, but their impact on DHT leads to debate.

community Oral minoxidl - Is this a medication that's generally safe to take for life? Like what I understand oral fin is? Also do studies show that in general or in a significant amount of more cases that results with oral minox + oral fin > oral fin in terms of long-term use(talkin 20+ years).

in Minoxidil 77 upvotes 1 year ago

Oral minoxidil combined with finasteride can improve hair density, but long-term safety is uncertain due to potential side effects like heart and kidney issues. Users report mixed experiences, with some experiencing side effects and others finding it effective for hair maintenance.

community Update: 9 months of oral Dutasteride & topical Minoxidil has done more than I ever expected

831 upvotes 4 months ago

Oral Dutasteride and topical Minoxidil significantly improved hair regrowth over nine months. Other users shared mixed results and side effects with treatments like oral Minoxidil and Finasteride.

growth factors taken from your blood and injected into your scalp to stimulate hair

What is Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Beta Polypeptide, and how does it help stimulate new hair growth? PDGF-BB is a growth factor that signals to dermal papilla cells and promotes blood-vessel formation; mouse studies report it can push follicles into the growth phase, and human evidence comes only indirectly from PRP trials. No PDGF product is approved for hair restoration and there is no published human trial of PDGF-BB on its own.
