What is Prostaglandin E1
Prostaglandin E1: One of the prostaglandins, in a wide range of body functions such as the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle, the dilation and constriction of blood vessels, control of blood pressure, and modulation of inflammation.
PGE2 has several medical uses, primarily during childbirth and in newborns. the uses include inducing labor, preventing postpartum bleeding, and keeping the ductus arteriosus closed in babies with congenital heart defects.
Prostaglandins (PG) are a group of physiologically active lipid (fat) compounds called eicosanoids that produce hormone-like effects in mammals, in all tissues. There are 4 primary types of Prostaglandins: PGD2, PGE2, PG12, and PGF2a.
Prostaglandin Function
The opposite function of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), an established hair growth stimulator, was additionally supported by detection of significantly higher levels of PGE2 in areas of the scalp unaffected by AGA induced miniaturization.
The discovery of Garza and other research teams conclusively validates the role of the balance between PGE2 and PGD2 in maintaining continued hair growth. An imbalance between the two, which in cases of AGA, means increased PGD2 relative to PGE2, is according to the m, the most significant contributing factor to AGA. They have concluded that the exogenous application of PGE2, or PGE2 precursor would play a therapeutic role in either the stabilization or reversal of AGA.
