Scientist of Indian origin part of the drug development team to reverse hair loss

Scientists including an Indian origin have developed an experimental drug capable of reversing the hair loss, whitening of the hair and inflammation of the skin. – all previously related to diets high in fat and cholesterol – in mice.

Treatment with D-threo-1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (D-PDMP) stops the production of some GSL are major components of the skin and others Cell membranes and could reverse hair discoloration, hair loss and inflammation of the skin exposed by multiple injuries that result from high fat diets, the researchers explained. 19659004] "Our discoveries are promising for a day using the drug we have developed for skin diseases such as psoriasis and wounds resulting from diabetes or plastic surgery," said Subroto Chatterjee of Johns Hopkins University in Maryland. 004] In the study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, the team fed a Western diet high in fat and cholesterol, and standard food to two groups of mice that had atherosclerosis – a disease in which the arteries are clogged by fatty deposits.

An analysis of cancer-free women who had a Western diet had severe hair loss and hair blemishes compared to those who had had the same degree of comfort.

These results became more severe when mice continued to eat a Western diet for 36 weeks, with 75 percent of the mice having skin, hair loss, and multiple skin lesions.

But, the mice also received 1 and 10 The dose of D-PDMP contained in one capsule per kilogram of body weight began to recover the color of the hair and hair, and their skin inflammation was reduced

. the researchers warned that the results in mice does not mean that the same effects would occur in people. But the results highlight possible ways to treat hair loss and skin wounds in humans with oral or topical medications, they noted.
