research Region-specific reversal of epidermal planar polarity in the rosette fancy mouse

2 citations , August 2023 in “Development”

In this study, researchers explored how hair follicle orientation is affected in the rosette fancy mouse and found that a mutation in the PCP gene Fzd6 caused reversed hair orientations in the posterior region, leading to the formation of unique whorls.

research SRD5A3 Is Required for Converting Polyprenol to Dolichol and Is Mutated in a Congenital Glycosylation Disorder

260 citations , July 2010 in “Cell”

This study identifies mutations in the SRD5A3 gene as a cause of a new type of congenital disorder of glycosylation, impacting mental, ophthalmologic, and cerebellar functions.

research Nuclear Localization of STAT5A Modified with O-Linked N-Acetylglucosamine and Early Involution in the Mammary Gland of Hirosaki Hairless Rat

17 citations , October 2005 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry”

This study found that Hirosaki hairless rats experience transient activation of STAT5A in the mammary glands during early lactation, involving O-GlcNAc modification rather than Tyr-phosphorylation.

research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates

21 citations , January 2020 in “General and Comparative Endocrinology”

This review examines the diverse roles of SRD5α enzymes across species, focusing on their involvement in steroid synthesis, sexual development, and various physiological processes, but reports no new clinical results.

research Identification of the Novel Membrane-Associated Protein AgK114 on Hamster Keratinocytes Recognized by a Monoclonal Antibody K114

4 citations , January 2004 in “Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin”

In this study, AgK114 was found to be transiently induced in hamster epidermal keratinocytes following skin damage, suggesting its role in the recovery process after injury.

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

26 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.

community Publication concludes finasteride is a associated with a 60% risk of persistent sexual dysfunction.

345 upvotes 6 months ago

Finasteride is not linked to a 60% risk of persistent sexual dysfunction; this figure applies only to those already experiencing sexual issues. Most users do not have side effects, and the study's methodology is criticized for selection bias.

community Let Me Sell You on NAC

17 upvotes 7 years ago

The conversation discusses using NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) alongside minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss, with some users noting potential hairline improvement and increased energy. The original poster reduced their finasteride dosage due to mental decline and anxiety, and while NAC's effects on hair are anecdotal, it is considered low-risk with other health benefits.
