research Intermediate Hair Follicles from Patients with Female Pattern Hair Loss Are Associated with Nutrient Insufficiency and a Quiescent Metabolic Phenotype

August 2022 in “Nutrients”

This ex vivo study found that hair follicles in female pattern hair loss exhibited nutrient insufficiency and dormant metabolism, but maintained nutrient uptake capability, suggesting potential benefits of nutritional supplementation as an adjunct therapy.

research 333 Poor perifollicular vascularization is associated with nutrient insufficiency and a quiescent metabolic phenotype in intermediate hair follicles from patients with female pattern hair loss

October 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

In this study, the researchers found that scalp hair follicles affected by female pattern hair loss are poorly vascularized, likely affecting nutrient delivery, but capable of nutrient uptake when supplemented.

research Androgenic alopecia in men: the significance of genetic, hormonal and metabolic factors (prospective cohort comparative study)

December 2022 in “Rossiiskii Zhurnal Kozhnykh i Venericheskikh Boleznei”

In this study, researchers found that genetic and non-genetic factors, including deficiencies in micronutrients like zinc and vitamins, play varying roles in the development of androgenetic alopecia in men.

research A systems study of nutrient uptake in plants

1 citations , July 2016 in “Nottingham ePrints (University of Nottingham)”

This study developed mathematical models to simulate phosphate uptake in rice and Arabidopsis, suggesting a phosphate-sensitive repressor could regulate PHO2 mRNA levels, and highlighting potential targets and traits for improving phosphorus-use efficiency.

research Alopecia in Belgian Blue crossbred calves: a case series

November 2019 in “BMC veterinary research”

community Derm told me that my whey protein usage is speeding up hair loss?

26 upvotes 5 months ago

Whey protein is unlikely to cause hair loss, and some users suggest it might be beneficial if dietary protein is insufficient. Hair loss is generally considered genetic, and there is skepticism about the dermatologist's advice to switch from whey protein to whole foods.

community 6 months on minoxidil shedding again

269 upvotes 6 months ago

A user experienced hair shedding after six months of using topical minoxidil and is considering adding finasteride to their routine. Many suggest that minoxidil alone is insufficient for stopping hair loss and recommend combining it with finasteride or dutasteride for better results.

community Dental technician is convinced that he has found the cause of pattern hair loss

314 upvotes 2 years ago

A dental technician claims malocclusion causes pattern hair loss due to poor scalp circulation. Users debate this, noting treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling focus on DHT and blood flow.

community Im depressed and feeling hopeless about my progress and need guidance

in Chat 7 upvotes 2 years ago

A 20-year-old is feeling depressed about hair loss despite using minoxidil and finasteride for 5-6 months. Users suggest continuing treatment, trying derma rolling, oral minoxidil, and addressing lifestyle factors.
