research Glucose and acetate metabolism by isolated sheep wool follicles

8 citations , April 1965 in “Archives of biochemistry and biophysics”

This study found that sheep wool follicles actively oxidize acetate and glucose, suggesting the involvement of the TCA cycle for compound synthesis and the potential role of the pentose phosphate pathway in ribose production for RNA and DNA.

research Growth of wool follicles in culture

20 citations , February 1994 in “In vitro cellular & developmental biology. Animal”

Wool follicles can grow in a lab with the right nutrients and conditions.

research Mode of action of mouse epidermal growth factor on the wool follicles of Merino sheep: an ultrastructural study

9 citations , October 1989 in “Australian Journal of Agricultural Research”

This study found that infused mouse epidermal growth factor induced wool follicle involution through a quasi-physiological process similar to catagen and a separate pathological action, resulting in fleece 'break' or shedding.

research The nutritional biochemistry of wool and hair follicles

14 citations , April 2000 in “Animal Science/Animal science”

This article explores how various nutrients and metabolic processes impact wool and hair follicle function in animals but reports no new experimental findings.

research The proteomics of wool follicles

January 2013 in “Wageningen Academic Publishers eBooks”

This study explored proteomics to investigate protein changes during protein synthesis and keratinization in maturing wool fiber, but the relationship to fibre development remains largely unknown.

community Claim: Insulin resistance increases the enzyme that creates DHT and affects the liver's ability to control hormones

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 11 months ago

Insulin resistance may increase DHT production, contributing to hair loss, and addressing it through diet, nutrients, and natural DHT blockers like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil could help reverse hair loss. Some users prefer medications like finasteride for more effective results.

community scientific evidence of the effect of minoxidil on collagen synthesis

in Minoxidil 3 upvotes 11 months ago

Minoxidil may inhibit collagen synthesis at high concentrations, with anecdotal reports of skin aging but limited research. Dermatologists and other specialists show little interest in studying minoxidil's side effects.

community Inhibition of collagen synthesis, oral versus topical minoxidil

4 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses the use of oral versus topical minoxidil for hairline recession, with concerns about collagen synthesis inhibition. Oral minoxidil may affect collagen production more broadly, while topical minoxidil's effects are localized but may cause skin issues.

community DLQ01: A Better "Minoxidil" PGF2a synthetic analogue.

3 upvotes 1 year ago

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 Has anyone here tried topical synthetic prostaglandins (Bimatoprost, Latanoprost, cetirizine) to stimulate hair growth?

6 upvotes 2 years ago

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.

learn sh-Polypeptide-7

Is sh-Polypeptide-7 considered a natural or synthetic ingredient, and how is it typically applied? sh-Polypeptide-7 is a synthetic (lab-made) form of human growth hormone, used in some topical skin and hair-care products. There is no published human trial showing that it benefits hair, and its safety on the scalp has not been studied.

learn Glycerin

What’s the difference between vegetable glycerin and synthetic glycerin in hair products? Vegetable glycerin is plant-derived, while synthetic glycerin is petroleum-based, but both are chemically identical.
