research Evaluation of Serum Levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Female Patients with Telogen Effluvium
Women with telogen effluvium have lower levels of VEGF, which may contribute to their hair loss.
research Exosome Therapy from Hypoxia-Treated Mesenchymal Stem Cells Reduces TNF-α and Increases VEGF Levels in Fluconazole-Induced Alopecia Model
Exosome therapy from treated stem cells may help reduce inflammation and promote hair regrowth in alopecia.
research Effect of FOLFOX6 Chemotherapy on Serum VEGF Expression in Advanced Colorectal Cancer Patients
FOLFOX6 chemotherapy effectively reduces VEGF levels and improves quality of life in advanced colorectal cancer patients.
research Evaluation of Cardiac Risk Marker Levels in Obese and Non-Obese Patients with Polycystic Ovaries
Obese and non-obese women with PCOS have higher heart risk markers, especially if they are obese.
research Activation of Camp Signaling in Response to Alpha-Phellandrene Promotes Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Levels and Proliferation in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
α-Phellandrene may help prevent hair loss by increasing growth factors and cell growth in hair cells through a specific signaling pathway.

5 / 30 resultscommunity What About Phytosterol Alternatives - Rice Bran Oil - Natural DHT Blockers
The conversation discusses natural DHT blockers like rice bran oil, which may reduce 5α-reductase activity similarly to Minoxidil and Dutasteride. One user argues that finasteride is more reliable and effective than natural alternatives.
community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
community Bee venom better than minoxidil?
Bee venom at 0.001% concentration was more effective than 2% minoxidil in promoting hair growth in mice, possibly due to increased growth factors and reduced inflammation. Caution is advised due to potential allergic reactions and the reliance on animal data.
community NMN Promotes Cell Proliferation and Hair Growth by Reducing Oxidative Stress
NMN shows promise in promoting hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and weakening androgens. It may be a beneficial addition to hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
community dunno if it's growing anything but it's making my scalp red
Hair loss and potential treatments, primarily focusing on Finasteride and Minoxidil. Other solutions discussed include PRP, dermarolling, LLP, and scalp tension relief.
