research Increased proliferation of epidermal gamma delta T cells and expression of the transmembrane protein, BST2, in Alopecia areata

2 citations , May 2022 in “The journal of immunology/The Journal of immunology”

In vivo using the C3H mouse model, this study observed that BST2 expression occurs before hair loss in alopecia areata and is followed by an increase in epidermal γδ T cell numbers.

Increased Retinol-Binding Protein 4 and Anti-RBP4 Antibody in Alopecia Areata

research Increased retinol‐binding protein (RBP) 4 and anti‐RBP4 antibody in alopecia areata

6 citations , June 2011 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This study found that individuals with alopecia areata had significantly higher serum levels of retinol-binding protein 4 and increased IgG immunoreactivity against it, suggesting a role in the disease's pathogenesis.

Phosphatidic Acid Has Potential to Promote Hair Growth In Vitro and In Vivo, and Activates Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase/Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Kinase in Hair Epithelial Cells

research Phosphatidic Acid Has a Potential to Promote Hair Growth In Vitro and In Vivo, and Activates Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase/Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Kinase in Hair Epithelial Cells

46 citations , August 2003 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that phosphatidic acid promotes hair growth by stimulating cell proliferation and protecting against apoptosis in murine hair epithelial cells, unlike lysophosphatidic acid, which showed limited effects.

Increased Serum C-Reactive Protein Levels Imply Chronic Inflammation in Men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Predominant Storage Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

research 1746 INCREASED SERUM C-REACTIVE PROTEIN LEVELS IMPLIES CHRONIC INFLAMMATION IS INVOLVED IN MEN WITH BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA AND PREDOMINANT STORAGE LOWER URINARY TRACT SYMPTOMS

April 2013 in “The Journal of Urology”

Higher CRP levels suggest chronic inflammation is linked to bladder-related urinary symptoms in men with enlarged prostates.

Genetic Ablation of Myelin Protein Zero-Like 3 in Mice Increases Energy Expenditure, Improves Glycemic Control, and Reduces Hepatic Lipid Synthesis

research Genetic ablation of myelin protein zero-like 3 in mice increases energy expenditure, improves glycemic control, and reduces hepatic lipid synthesis

14 citations , May 2013 in “American Journal of Physiology-endocrinology and Metabolism”

This study found that mice lacking myelin protein zero-like 3 (Mpzl3) had reduced body weight and adiposity despite increased food intake, which was linked to higher energy expenditure and improved glycemic control.

community Whey Protein can cause hairloss in men with AGA as per a doctor

64 upvotes 8 months ago

Whey protein may slightly increase hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) due to elevated IGF-1 and testosterone levels, but the effect is minimal compared to treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Many users argue that whey protein's impact on hair loss is negligible and that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more important.

community What's the full story on whey protein (isolate), BCAA's and accelerated balding?

5 upvotes 5 years ago

Whey protein and BCAAs may increase testosterone levels, potentially accelerating hair loss, but opinions vary on their impact. Some users suggest monitoring diet and hair health, while others believe the effect is minimal compared to DHT's role in balding.

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.

community Can Whey Protein isolate make your AGA worse?

9 upvotes 3 years ago

Whey protein isolate may worsen androgenetic alopecia (AGA) due to its potential to increase DHT levels, but finasteride use has helped maintain hair. Some users suggest avoiding protein supplements due to possible contaminants and additives that could affect hair health.

community Creatine / Whey Protein / Finasteride Hair Loss?

6 upvotes 2 years ago

A 37-year-old with a receding hairline started using finasteride and plans to add minoxidil, concerned that creatine and whey protein might accelerate hair loss. Another user suggests these supplements likely don't increase testosterone or cause hair loss, advising to monitor personal experience.

Can a deficiency in Vitamin B2 cause scalp irritation or increased hair shedding? Vitamin B2 deficiency can cause scalp irritation and may contribute to hair shedding.

learn zinc PCA

Can a zinc deficiency directly cause hair thinning or increased shedding? Studies link low serum zinc to diffuse shedding and alopecia areata, and severe deficiency states cause hair loss that reverses when zinc is replaced. The evidence is mostly observational, the one supplementation study was small and uncontrolled, and zinc is not a treatment for pattern hair loss.

learn Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

Are there risks or side effects associated with treatments that increase Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)? Increasing VEGF can lead to risks like abnormal vessel growth and inflammation.
