research Health-related quality of life and physical well-being among a 63-year-old cohort of women with androgenetic alopecia; a Finnish population-based study

24 citations , August 2005 in “Health and Quality of Life Outcomes”

This study observed that women aged 63 with androgenetic alopecia had higher insulin resistance and more role limitations due to physical health compared to those with normal hair.

research FOXO1, TGF-β Regulation and Wound Healing

87 citations , September 2014 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”

This study found that the transcription factor FOXO1 plays a crucial role in wound healing by protecting keratinocytes from oxidative stress and regulating TGF-β expression.

research Effective amelioration of hepatic inflammation and insulin response in high fat diet-fed rats via regulating AKT/mTOR signaling: Role of Lepidium sativum seed extracts

14 citations , October 2020 in “Journal of ethnopharmacology”

This study found that both ethanol and aqueous extracts of Lepidium sativum seeds improved insulin signaling and reduced obesity-related metabolic changes in high-fat diet-fed rats, suggesting potential as a dietary supplement.

research Metabolic aging and cutaneous markers of metabolic syndrome: a narrative review

December 2025 in “Bali Dermatology Venereology and Aesthetic Journal”

This narrative review emphasizes the relationship between metabolic syndrome, metabolic aging, and skin manifestations, highlighting cases like early-onset androgenetic alopecia linked with insulin resistance, and underscores their significance for dermatology and aesthetic practice.

research Advances in mitochondria-centered mechanism behind the roles of androgens and androgen receptor in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism

October 2023 in “Frontiers in endocrinology”

This review examines the role of androgens and androgen receptors in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, focusing on their effects on mitochondrial content and function; it also discusses the sex-dimorphic influence of androgens and provides theoretical insights into their mechanisms.

community If PP405 goes systemic this would be quite catastrophic

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 1 year ago

Concerns about the potential systemic effects and safety of PP405 for hair loss, with discussions on its comparison to existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. Users express skepticism about untested research chemicals and emphasize the importance of clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy.

community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001).

297 upvotes 2 years ago

Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%, and type 2 diabetes is linked to female pattern hair loss. Reducing sugar intake and using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil may help manage hair loss.

community Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect

126 upvotes 3 months ago

PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 2 years ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
