research Progressive Hair Loss and Myocardial Degeneration in Rough Coat Mice: Reduced Lysyl Oxidase-Like (LOXL) in the Skin and Heart
This study identified the rough coat mutation in mice, but found that LOXL is not the causal gene, although its downregulation might contribute to related phenotypic changes.
research Valproic acid reduces hair loss and improves survival in patients receiving temozolomide-based radiation therapy for high-grade glioma
This study found that using valproic acid during radiotherapy for glioma was associated with delayed hair loss and improved survival outcomes.

community Increasing GH and IGF-1 for Increased Growth/Reduced Hair Loss?
Increasing IGF-1 may help hair growth, but it could also increase hair loss in people with high testosterone. Treatments discussed include l-arginine, glutamine, vanadium, Deer Antler Velvet, ATP, Cocarboxylase, l-carnitine, and Mk677.
community Hair Loss and Oily Skin: Blocking DHT Helps

10 / 22 results- 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.
- How can omega-3 supplements help reduce hair loss and support healthy hair growth? Omega-3 supplements may reduce hair loss by improving scalp health and circulation.
- How does spironolactone help reduce hair loss when used in topical or oral treatments? Studies report that spironolactone slows androgen-driven follicle miniaturisation by blocking androgen receptors, with most evidence in women and mostly alongside minoxidil; it is a prescription drug and its use for hair loss is off-label.
- How does cetirizine reduce inflammation linked to hair loss? Cetirizine is proposed to lower prostaglandin D2 and raise prostaglandin E2 around hair follicles; three small trials of a compounded 1% topical report modest increases in hair density and shaft thickness, with minoxidil doing better head-to-head. Topical cetirizine is off-label and unapproved for hair loss, and the evidence is too thin to call it effective or safe.
- Can ginkgo biloba reduce scalp inflammation that contributes to hair loss? Ginkgo biloba may help reduce scalp inflammation, potentially benefiting hair loss.
