mung bean sprouts Flashcards
main cause of hair loss that it targets
lack of communication between different types of cells in hair follicle
counteracts this
negative effect of DHT on hair follicle
where does DHT come from
testosterone interaction with 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, which is located in hair follicle oil glands
what is the primary cause of male patterned baldness (not the level of testosterone circulating)
level of DHT binding to receptors in scalp follicles
what actually happens to cause mpb
follicles become miniaturized
(large terminal hairs–>fine vellus-like hairs)
anagen phase is reduced, reducing anagen:telogen ratio
affected hairs cycle more quickly–>more follicles in resting phase
principle function of active
stimulate positive growth factors and genetic messages
promotes both anagen and telogen phase
role of flavonoids in the active
inhibitor of 5-alpha-reductase
mechanism of action
phytonutrients re-balance hair follicle cycling
in vitro testing shows increased production of ______ to ________
IGF1
SMC3
BMP4
PDGFA
–>restore healthy hair follicle cycling
clinical studies show
improvement of hair density
increase of active hair follicles
after 28 days
extract has been tested at
1%
IGF1 stands for
Insulin growth factor 1
PDGFA stands for
Platelet derived growth factor A
BMP4 stands for
Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4
SMC3 stands for
Structural maintenance of chromosome 3
