research Influence of FHIT on benzo[ a ]pyrene-induced tumors and alopecia in mice: Chemoprevention by budesonide and N -acetylcysteine

24 citations , May 2006 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America”

This study reported that heterozygosity for FHIT affects mice's susceptibility to spontaneous alopecia areata and to certain preneoplastic lesions induced by benzo[a]pyrene, but does not change how they respond to budesonide and N-acetyl-L-cysteine.

research Modulation of genomic and postgenomic alterations in noncancer diseases and critical periods of life

9 citations , October 2008 in “Mutation research”

This article discusses the genomic and postgenomic changes in chronic degenerative diseases and cardiovascular and skin disease contexts, highlighting potential modulation through diet and pharmacological interventions without presenting new experimental results.

research 705 Particulate matter induces inflammatory response in human outer root sheath cells via oxidative stress-dependent MAPK and JAK-STAT signaling pathways

July 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study suggests that particulate matter can induce inflammation in human outer root sheath cells, potentially affecting hair growth, through oxidative stress-dependent MAPK and JAK-STAT signaling pathways.

research Booby Trap: Cancer gene spurs production of DNA-assaulting chemicals that alert and defuse rescue molecule (Cancer; Oxidative damage)

June 2002 in “Science of aging knowledge environment”

This study suggests that the oncogene c-Myc can induce DNA damage by increasing reactive oxygen species, potentially overriding p53 and contributing to genetic instability in cancer cells.

research Into the redox control: N-acetyl-cysteine pleiotropic effects from the laboratory to clinical applications

4 citations , December 2013 in “Acupuncture and related therapies”

This review summarizes the potential of N-acetyl-cysteine in managing diseases linked to redox imbalance, discussing its effects from cellular mechanisms to clinical applications, though further research is suggested for broader use.

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.

community Has anyone tried collagen supplements?

4 upvotes 9 years ago

Collagen supplements, often combined with L-cysteine, are reported to thicken hair but are not sufficient for preventing hair loss. Users also mention using other treatments like minoxidil, Nizoral, and dermarolling for hair regrowth.

community Fighting Hair loss AND Grey Hair

2 upvotes 4 years ago

OP is exploring ways to stop or reverse greying hair, using NAC and considering PABA supplements. Some users suggest hair dye, black strap molasses, and copper as potential solutions.

community Finasteride and Eye Problems: You’re Not Going Crazy

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 503 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride can cause dry eyes and vision issues due to its impact on the meibomian glands. Users have mixed experiences, with some experiencing eye discomfort and others having no side effects.

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.
