research Characterization of Xenobiotic Metabolizing Enzymes of a Reconstructed Human Epidermal Model from Adult Hair Follicles

September 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

The reconstructed skin model from hair follicles functions like human skin in processing chemicals and can be used to test ingredient safety.

research Hair Follicle Sulfotransferase Activity and Effectiveness of Oral Minoxidil in Androgenetic Alopecia

1 citations, July 2024 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology”

Low SULT activity in hair follicles leads to better response to oral minoxidil for hair loss.

research Intracrine Androgen Biosynthesis, Metabolism, and Action Revisited

131 citations, September 2017 in “Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology”

The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.

community Going to try the theory posted here for the next 3-6 months

in Treatment 188 upvotes 3 years ago

User xEternex tries hair regrowth with daily broccoli sprouts, apple extract containing procyanidin b2, and microneedling. Others discuss potential issues with the experiment and share their experiences with vegetable consumption and hair growth.

community The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!

in Research/Science 2447 upvotes 3 years ago

The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.

community Oral min vs topical comparison

in Treatment 10 upvotes 2 months ago

Oral minoxidil is claimed to be more effective and easier to use than topical minoxidil, with a 100% response rate, but it may cause unwanted body hair growth and has potential heart-related side effects. Topical minoxidil is less effective for many due to enzyme limitations, can cause scalp issues, and is more challenging to apply, but it avoids systemic side effects.
