Glossary Transient Receptor Potential Channels

ion channels involved in sensory perception and physiological processes

Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels are a group of ion channels located in the cell membrane that play a crucial role in various physiological processes, including sensation and temperature regulation. These channels respond to a wide range of stimuli, such as temperature changes, pH levels, and mechanical stress, and are involved in sensory functions like pain perception and taste.

in Progress Pictures 112 upvotes 1 year ago

An 18-year-old is using a high-dose hair loss treatment with 40mg daily dutasteride, finasteride, minoxidil, tretinoin, and topical bicalutamide. Despite health risk concerns, especially liver issues, they report hair regrowth progress and intend to continue the regimen.

community Dutasteride absolutely nukes hair DHT

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 486 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels, potentially more effectively than finasteride, and is used to treat hair loss. Some users report side effects like reduced libido and mood changes, while others experience hair regrowth and increased testosterone.

community Amplifica: Hope or Cope? A Review of Their Pipeline

9 upvotes 1 month ago

Amplifica's AMP-303 showed a modest increase in hair growth, but results were inconsistent and potentially misleading. Hyaluronic acid and osteopontin are being explored for hair growth, with varying effects on different hair types and conditions.

community It all feels like a pointless cope

in Chat 17 upvotes 5 months ago

The user is frustrated with hair loss despite using finasteride and is considering a hairpiece as a solution. Suggestions include trying a buzz cut, considering dutasteride or oral minoxidil, and addressing potential dietary issues.
