research Observational Study on Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis Linn; Phytochemical, Pharmacognostical Aspects and Pharmacological Effects

August 2026 in “International Journal of Research in Pharmacology & Pharmacotherapeutics”

This review discusses the phytochemistry, pharmacology, and traditional uses of Hibiscus rosa sinensis in treating various conditions, reporting no new clinical results, and suggesting the need for future research.

research Observational Study of Paclitaxel-Carboplatin versus Pemetrexed-Carboplatin for Advanced Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma at Single-Centre in Indonesia

January 2022 in “eJournal Kedokteran Indonesia”

In this cross-sectional study, researchers found no significant difference in effectiveness between paclitaxel-carboplatin and pemetrexed-carboplatin for treating pulmonary adenocarcinoma with negative EGFR mutations, but paclitaxel-carboplatin was more cost-effective and associated with more frequent severe haematological toxicities.

research Observational study on risk factors, complications and management of polycystic ovarian syndrome

January 2018 in “Deleted Journal”

In this observational study of 110 women with PCOS, the researchers found that 52.7% experienced depression and anxiety, with Metformin being the most prescribed drug. Regular counseling and lifestyle management were noted to improve the overall disease prognosis.

research Observational study of hair follicle cultured in Williams E medium in vitro

September 2013 in “中国医师杂志”

This study found that using serum-free Williams E medium was more effective for culturing human scalp hair follicles in vitro, suggesting it may improve hair follicle regeneration between hair transplant procedures.

research Efficacy of combination therapy of inositols, antioxidants and vitamins in obese and non-obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome: an observational study

24 citations , July 2019 in “Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology”

This study found that a 12-week supplementation with a combination of insulin sensitizing agents, antioxidants, and vitamins significantly improved menstrual cyclicity, acne, and hirsutism in women with PCOS, with additional weight loss benefits in obese subjects.

community Do studies say Finasteride shed is real?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 12 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride may cause hair shedding as part of the regrowth process, but there are no controlled trials confirming this. The shedding idea is mostly based on anecdotal reports and comparisons to how minoxidil works.

community Study shows further evidence that finasteride and dutasteride take 12-18 months or more to show significant results. Do NOT give up early

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 247 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride in treating hair loss, emphasizing that significant results often take 12-18 months or more. Dutasteride is generally considered superior, with similar or fewer side effects than finasteride, but patience is required for noticeable improvement.

community Got my Oleic fatty acid they used in Korean study. Fuck you mice!

247 upvotes 8 months ago

Oleic acid and microneedling are being explored for hair regrowth, but results are mixed. Addressing DHT and fibrosis is crucial, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massage also discussed.

community My personal experience/observations fighting AGA seriously for 5 years

50 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.

community Weed/THC effects on hair growth/hair loss, and vitality of organ-culture human follicle studies (research review)

4 upvotes 1 year ago

Cannabis and THC may have mixed effects on hair, with some studies suggesting potential negative impacts on hair growth in isolated hair follicles, but these results are hard to apply to living humans. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used for hair loss, and the effects of cannabis might be neutral or vary based on individual factors.

learn Dutasteride

Dutasteride side effects: what the label and studies actually report The Avodart label reports impotence in 4.7% and decreased libido in 3.0% of men in the first six months (1.7% and 1.4% on placebo), with new reports falling after month six; those figures come from BPH trials in older men, and the hair-loss trials in younger men run only six months. The label and studies also flag a PSA drop of about half, a small rise in high-grade prostate cancer in one trial, an observational link to depression, and sexual effects that the label says may persist after stopping.

learn zinc PCA

Can a zinc deficiency directly cause hair thinning or increased shedding? Studies link low serum zinc to diffuse shedding and alopecia areata, and severe deficiency states cause hair loss that reverses when zinc is replaced. The evidence is mostly observational, the one supplementation study was small and uncontrolled, and zinc is not a treatment for pattern hair loss.

learn Folic acid

Can folic acid help reduce hair loss in men and women, and how should it be taken? Correcting a confirmed folate deficiency is reasonable, but no published trial shows folic acid supplementation reduces hair loss on its own; the evidence is a few small observational studies and reviews that call for proper trials.

learn Melatonin

hormone commonly taken for sleep aid has some topical benefits for hair

Melatonin: Does it work the same for men and women? No trial has compared melatonin's effect on hair in men versus women. The only placebo-controlled scalp study enrolled 40 women, and the single reported sex difference — shedding fell in women but not men — comes from one uncontrolled 60-person observation, so any difference is unestablished.

learn Minoxidil

An essential vasodilator with some anti-androgenic effects

natural substance from Neem tree with medicinal and pesticidal properties

signaling protein that, when suppressed, may grow hair by reducing inflammation and stem cell loss
