Parathyroid hormone related peptide is a possible treatment for hair loss being investigated by Dr. Michael Holick of Boston University. He believes it is the key to hairs being turned on and off as well as other things.
Hair Loss Treatment Type:
Parathyroid Hormone related Peptide Antagonist
Testing:
Awaiting approval for human testing.
Clinical Results:
Stimulated hair growth in 100% of hair follicles in tests with mice.
Notes:
This test has great promise; however it is too early to say whether it will be ‘the cure’ or even a great treatment for hair loss. Once it is tested in humans, we will have a better idea.
