Ketoconazole (shampoo or creme) and PGD2, cox2, etc.

[NeedHairASAP]

can we find any connections between the keto and either PGD2 or COX2 or CRTH receptors?


I guess ketoconazole is nizoral?

The CYP17 inhibitor ketoconazole (Scott et al. 2009) reduced testosterone production without affecting PGD2 synthesis (Figure 3D,E).

apparenlty keto CREATES MORE PGD2??? that makes no sense

However, it seems that KCZ also influences themetabolism of cyclooxygenase products. The drug has been shown to inhibit thesynthesis of thromboxane [7] while concomitantly stimulating thesynthesis of prostaglandins PGE2 and PGD2

doesn't give any numbers though... PGE2 stimulation could be much higher than PGD2 so extra PGE2 may offset the inhibiting effect of PGD2?

I don't follow you

I don't follow you

PGD2 increase by 20%
PGE2 increase by 50%

that would still give you a positive effect even if PGD2 is slightly increased

hmm, well people have been using it for years and havn't gotten significant regrowth, so perhaps that wasn't it. It did help with the itch tho, and cleared up my scale scalp REAL well.

I've been applying keto 2% cream on my temples 2 times a day for about 6 months. It did nothing for me :/
