Hexapeptide-11 binds to the Androgen receptor

Post by Jacob » Wed Nov 14, 2007 4:22 pm

Hexapeptide-11 is a biofermented peptide that has been shown in in vitro genomic studies, run on human dermal fi broblasts, to upregulate key genes responsible for collagen production and important extracellular matrix components such as hyaluronic acid. In a gene microarray study conducted on human dermal fi broblasts, it was found that topical treatment with Hexapeptide-11 was able to upregulate the Androgen Receptor gene (AR) indicating that the peptide appears capable of binding to the Androgen Receptor much the way testosterone will. This suggests that Hexapeptide-11 may be able to infl uence the principal biochemical pathways responsible for converting young velus hair into mature terminal hair

I did post about that before..but I noticed some products now containing it:

http://www.mens-groom.com - the serum.

http://www.kospro.co.uk

http://vitanetonline.com/description/NG ... air-Spray/ -the hairspray.

Those contain the "complex", which includes the peptide. Nioxin has at least one product with the peptide, but not the whole complex(but I could be wrong).
