GlossaryPI3K inhibitor

blocks enzyme activity involved in cell growth and survival

A PI3K inhibitor, also known as a phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor, is a type of drug that blocks the activity of the PI3K enzyme. This enzyme is involved in various cellular functions, including growth, proliferation, and survival. By inhibiting PI3K, these drugs can help treat certain cancers and other diseases where PI3K is abnormally active.

community New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase

in Research/Science 120 upvotes 7 months ago

Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

in Research/Science 667 upvotes 2 months ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

in Technology 7 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.
