Did you mean Oxidative Stress?

Glossary Oxidative Stress

imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants causing cellular damage

Oxidative stress refers to an imbalance between free radicals (unstable molecules that can damage cells) and antioxidants (molecules that neutralize free radicals) in the body. This imbalance can lead to cellular damage, also known as oxidative damage or oxidative injury, and is implicated in various conditions, including aging, cancer, and hair loss disorders like alopecia.

Particulate Matter Induces Inflammatory Response in Human Outer Root Sheath Cells via Oxidative Stress-Dependent MAPK and JAK-STAT Signaling Pathways

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 Genome-wide p63-Target Gene Analyses Reveal TAp63/NRF2-Dependent Oxidative Stress Responses

7 citations , January 2024 in “Cancer Research Communications”

This study found that TAp63 and ΔNp63 isoforms in the p63 family interact with different transcription factors to regulate distinct transcriptional programs, affecting various biological functions like metabolic pathways, oxidative stress response, and epithelial morphogenesis in mouse epidermal cells.

research Foxp1 Regulates the Proliferation of Hair Follicle Stem Cells in Response to Oxidative Stress during Hair Cycling

22 citations , July 2015 in “PloS one”

This study found that Foxp1, a transcriptional factor, plays a key role in regulating hair follicle stem cell proliferation by modulating oxidative stress and the cell cycle during hair growth phases.

research Evaluation of Personalized Skincare Through in-silico Gene Interactive Networks and Cellular Responses to UVR and Oxidative Stress

11 citations , October 2022 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology”

In this study, SNPs in genes affecting skin pigmentation were linked to each skin type's unique response to environmental stress, suggesting potential for personalized skin care products.

research Deletion of vitamin D receptor with calcium sensing receptor in keratinocytes promotes epidermal tumorigenesis by limiting dna repair and oxidative stress response genes

March 2026 in “The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology”

This study found that mice lacking both vitamin D and calcium-sensing receptors in epidermal keratinocytes are predisposed to developing squamous cell carcinoma as they age, due to impaired oxidative stress response and reduced DNA repair capabilities.

community A Study I came along by mistake researching (Dutasteride +Pumpkin seed oil ) for every other day use.

16 upvotes 3 months ago

Alternating Dutasteride with pumpkin seed oil may protect the spleen from damage caused by Dutasteride. Pumpkin seed oil's antioxidants help counteract oxidative stress and immune suppression.

community How ET-02 Works. Also no proof that it's better than Minoxidil. At least for now.

44 upvotes 1 year ago

ET-02, a PAI-1 inhibitor, is not proven to be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Other treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, PP405, and AMP-303 are also discussed, focusing on cellular senescence and oxidative stress.

community I'm becoming non-responder to minoxidil. What's going on?

7 upvotes 1 year ago

The user experienced reduced effectiveness of minoxidil after consistent use, despite using dutasteride to maintain hair. They are considering alternatives like microneedling and exploring options like hair transplants due to dissatisfaction with current hair density.

community For what it's worth, I just want to state that I also think that adding Dutasteride to Finasteride has made my hair worse

18 upvotes 5 years ago

A user shared that adding Dutasteride to Finasteride worsened their hair loss, despite initial improvements with Finasteride alone. Others in the conversation debated the effectiveness of Dutasteride, with some suggesting individual responses vary and others defending its proven efficacy for hair loss.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

140 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
