Glossary Inhibin

hormone that regulates follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) production

Inhibin is a hormone produced primarily by the ovaries in females and the testes in males. It plays a crucial role in regulating the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) by the pituitary gland, thereby influencing reproductive processes such as the menstrual cycle in women and sperm production in men.

community Inhibition of collagen synthesis, oral versus topical minoxidil

4 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses the use of oral versus topical minoxidil for hairline recession, with concerns about collagen synthesis inhibition. Oral minoxidil may affect collagen production more broadly, while topical minoxidil's effects are localized but may cause skin issues.

community Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?

32 upvotes 1 year ago

Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.
