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 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.
research Treatment of Male Pattern Alopecia with Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Double-Blind Controlled Study with Analysis of Platelet Number and Growth Factor Levels
Platelet-rich plasma treatment can significantly increase hair count and density in men with pattern baldness, and these improvements can last up to 3 months.
research Topical Rice Bran Oil (Oryza Sativa L.) Has the Same Effect as 2% Topical Minoxidil to Prevent Senile Alopecia Through Improved Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Protein Expression, Hair Follicle Diameter, and Length in Wistar Rats (Rattus Norvegicus) Exposed to Ultraviolet B Light
Rice bran oil works as well as 2% minoxidil to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.

5 / 17 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 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.
community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.
