research After Skin Wounding, Noncoding dsRNA Coordinates Prostaglandins and Wnts to Promote Regeneration
After skin is damaged, noncoding dsRNA helps prostaglandins and Wnts work together to repair tissue and promote hair growth.
research Expression of NAD+-Dependent 15-Hydroxyprostaglandin Dehydrogenase and Protection of Prostaglandins in Human Hair Follicle
A substance called compound-1 could help increase hair growth by maintaining prostaglandin levels in hair follicles.
research Simultaneous Determination of Androgens and Prostaglandins in Human Urine Using Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.

5 / 67 resultscommunity You will lose hair if your prostaglandins aren't in balance
Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hair follicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.
community Has anyone here tried topical synthetic prostaglandins (Bimatoprost, Latanoprost, cetirizine) to stimulate hair growth?
The conversation discusses using topical synthetic prostaglandins like Bimatoprost, Latanoprost, and cetirizine for hair growth. The user shares a link suggesting these treatments may be effective.
community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil
Painkillers like Aspirin may reduce Minoxidil's effectiveness by inhibiting the enzyme PGHS-1, which is crucial for hair growth. Using NSAIDs that inhibit COX-2 or combining Minoxidil with PGF2/E2 analogues or retinoids may enhance its efficacy.
community DLQ01: A Better "Minoxidil" PGF2a synthetic analogue.
DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.
community Interesting / Relevant Information
The conversation provides scientific sources on hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and others, aiming to help individuals make informed decisions about their treatment options.
