    thickening of the heart's left ventricle muscle wall

    Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) is a condition where the muscle wall of the heart's left ventricle thickens. This thickening can result from high blood pressure or other heart conditions, and it can lead to reduced heart efficiency and increased risk of cardiovascular events.

      community Better Than Minoxidil? Topical Sodium Valproate

      in Research/Science  52 upvotes 3 months ago
      Topical sodium valproate may promote hair growth by inhibiting GSK3β, allowing beta-catenin to proliferate, but it has potential side effects and requires more research. The conversation also mentions skepticism about a product called Vdphlo1, which includes sodium valproate and other ingredients.

      community Topical tretinoin increases minoxidil absorption by 3x. Thoughts?

      in Minoxidil  39 upvotes 6 years ago
      Topical tretinoin can increase the absorption of minoxidil by three times, which may enhance its effectiveness for hair loss treatment. Tretinoin causes increased skin turnover, making the skin more permeable and potentially improving minoxidil's efficacy.
