GlossaryMalondialdehyde

byproduct of lipid peroxidation indicating oxidative stress in cells

Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a byproduct of lipid peroxidation, which occurs when free radicals attack lipids in cell membranes. It is often used as a biomarker to measure oxidative stress and cell damage in various biological tissues, including hair follicles. Elevated levels of MDA can indicate increased oxidative stress, which is linked to conditions like alopecia and other hair disorders.

community Efficacy and Tolerability of N-Acetyl-Cysteine for Treatment of The Early-onset Androgenetic Alopecia in Men

in Research/Science 28 upvotes 4 years ago

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) was found to improve hair parameters in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, showing increased terminal hair count and decreased vellus hair count, with good tolerability. NAC, used alone or with minoxidil, may help due to its antioxidant properties, though its effectiveness can vary among individuals.
