Glossary Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 1

regulates insulin-like growth factors' availability and activity in the body

Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 1 (IGFBP-1) is a protein that binds to insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), which are hormones that play a crucial role in growth and development. By binding to IGFs, IGFBP-1 regulates their availability and activity in the body, influencing processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and metabolism. Elevated levels of IGFBP-1 can be associated with conditions like insulin resistance and metabolic disorders.

research Effects of oxytocin on the hair growth ability of dermal papilla cells

October 2023 in “Scientific Reports”

This study explored the effects of oxytocin on hair growth and found that it upregulated growth-promoting factors in dermal papilla cells and hair follicle organoids, suggesting potential for developing new alopecia treatments.

research Involvement of DKK1 secreted from adipose‐derived stem cells in alopecia areata

November 2023 in “Cell Proliferation”

This study found that adipose-derived stem cells with DKK1 knocked out using CRISPR/Cas9 promoted hair growth in an alopecia areata model more effectively than untreated stem cells, suggesting DKK1 is a potential therapeutic target for this condition.

community IGFBP‐rP1 is a potential therapeutic target in androgenic alopecia

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 1 year ago

IGFBP‐rP1 shows potential for treating androgenic alopecia by influencing hair cycle transitions. Increasing IGF-1 levels may have similar effects to Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors in reducing hair loss.

community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !

324 upvotes 11 months ago

Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

community What are your thoughts on pre-finasteride blood work?

1 upvotes 3 years ago

The user is considering resuming finasteride after a 6-month break and is debating the necessity of extensive blood work, including hormone and health markers, to establish a baseline. They are unsure if the tests are necessary since they experienced no side effects previously.

community Interesting article links major MPB theories to western diet (and life-style)

in Research/Science 58 upvotes 1 year ago

Poor diet and lifestyle contribute to male pattern baldness. Treatments like Minoxidil, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments may help slow hair loss.
