research Ethanol extract of the freshwater green alga Prasiola japonica attenuates hair loss and promotes hair growth in a testosterone-induced hair loss model
This study found that applying an ethanol extract of Prasiola japonica improved hair regrowth, length, and follicular density in testosterone-induced hair loss conditions in mice, while also promoting dermal papilla cell proliferation and reducing dihydrotestosterone production, though effects were less pronounced than those of minoxidil.
