Hi, I'm referring to the action mechanisms of:
GRAPESEED EXTRACT
EGCG
(Activates Akt phosphorylation)
AND
CAFFEINE
Daidzen
EGCG?!?
(Deactivates Akt phophorylation)
FYI:
now for those who are newbs like me, Akt is simply a protein, think of it as that, has 3 forms in the body, Akt1, 2, 3. We are interested in AKT2. Now Akt2 deficiency is implicated in hair loss accdg. to what I've read so far..
Anyway, some references I've read EGCG promotes Akt activation, while one says otherwise.
I for one lost a lot of hair (all over my body and scalp) because of taking Guggul or Guggulsterone, a known weight loss ayurvedic supplement that I actually took for acne and not losing weight. THEN I FOUND OUT THE OTHER DAY THAT IT ALSO DEACTIVES Akt!!! AND THAT Akt IS IMPLICATED IN CANCER GROWTH, AND THAT GUGGUL IS USED TO TREAT CANCER AS WELL! CHEMOTHERAPEUTICS === POTENTIAL HAIR LOSS... RING A BELL NOW?
Can we have everybody's input on this? I am SOOO CONFUSED.
Is Michael Barry here? Hi sir?
