Prolactin and AGA
Hi doctor, i have few questions (not regarding your new treatment) am just little inquisitive about hair science with regard to Prolactin and genetic hair loss and have some questions regarding that I hope you answer
Prolactin Inhibition of hair growth is reported to occur via catagen induction. This is an interesting question: Neurohormone mainly secreted in anterior pituitary gland. PRL signaling occurs via the prolactin receptor (PRL-R). PRL and PRL-R are widely expressed across different tissues, including the HF. Next to its essential function in promoting lactation, PRL plays a role in metabolic homeostasis, regulation of growth and is hypothesized to suppress apoptosis
This is all theory and we don’t know what we should do about it at this time.
