Sugar gel produced by the human body increases blood flow to the hair follicles when passed in the Calves.
A sugar naturally present in the human body is able to stimulate hair growth and may even be the new solution to the baldness hereditary.
The conclusions are from a new study, led by Sheila Macneil at Sheffield University, which showed that sugar -treated rats 2-Desoxi-D-Ribose presented a very fast hair recovery.
In a testosterone -induced hair loss model, researchers applied a gel with sugar in rats with bald zones, comparing the effects with those of minoxidilactive substance of most drugs against baldness.
Both treatments stimulated hair growth in a similar way, with a recovery rate between 80% and 90%according to the investigation in Frontiers in Pharmacology. The combined application of minoxidil and 2-deoxi-d-rabose showed no additional benefits.
Scientists do not yet understand how this sugar promotes the growth of thicker and longer hair, but suspect that the effect is related to the increased blood flow to hair follicles – In fact, investigating the ability of this sugar to accelerate wound healing by promoting the formation of blood vessels was the initial objective of the researchers.
In this way, scientists believe that treatment can also be effective against other types of hair loss, such as the one chemotherapy.
The next step will involve tests with human heads, note o.
