GlossaryNeurotrophins

proteins that support neuron growth, survival, and function

Neurotrophins are a family of proteins that play a crucial role in the growth, survival, and maintenance of neurons, which are the cells responsible for transmitting information in the nervous system. They help support the health of nerve cells and are involved in processes like learning and memory. For professionals, key members of this family include nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).

community Possible topical option for preventing BDNF-related hair loss

in Research/Science 7 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses hair loss linked to BDNF-increasing nootropics like Semax and Lions Mane. Suggested topical treatments include capsaicin, beta-glucan, and ginseng to counteract TGF-B activation.

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
