Hair loss may be linked to the GPR133 receptor, independent of the androgen receptor pathway. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and KX-826 show varying results, with hair loss persisting due to high testosterone and GPR133's role.
community DHT is NOT very important for adults, is it?

1 / 4 results- What is Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), and how does it support hair growth in alopecia? In mice, VEGF supports hair growth by increasing blood vessels around follicles. There is no direct evidence that raising VEGF treats hair loss in people.
- Can products that stimulate Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) improve blood flow to hair follicles? Unproven. Raising VEGF increases vessels around follicles in mice and minoxidil raises VEGF in cultured cells, but no study shows VEGF-marketed products improve scalp blood flow or hair loss in people.
- Is Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) available as a topical treatment, or is it only stimulated indirectly? VEGF is not available as a topical treatment for hair loss.
