    Glossary Prostaglandin F2α

    naturally occurring compound involved in muscle contraction and inflammation

    Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) is a naturally occurring compound in the body that plays a role in various physiological processes, including the contraction of smooth muscle tissues, regulation of the reproductive system, and modulation of inflammation. In the context of hair, PGF2α analogs have been studied for their potential to promote hair growth and are sometimes used in treatments for conditions like alopecia.
