TY - JOUR AU - upadhyay, sukirti PY - 2018/10/13 Y2 - 2025/09/23 TI - A Study of protective effect of Glycyrrhetinic acid in androgen induced alopecia JF - Research in Pharmacy JA - RIP VL - 8 IS - 0 SE - Articles DO - 10.25081/rip.2018.v8.3717 UR - https://www.updatepublishing.com/journal/index.php/rip/article/view/3717 SP - 10-12 AB - <p><strong>Introduction</strong></p><p>Androgenic alopecia is a common hair disorder of both gender but it is most prevalent in &nbsp;aged male. <em>Glycyrrhiza glabra</em> is a herb generally use to treat hair disorders and previous studies showed that &nbsp;petroleum ether extract of <em>G.glabra</em> &nbsp;possess hair growth promoting activity.In present study Glycyrrhetinic acid was isolated from <em>G.glabra</em> &nbsp;and was studied as curative agent for androgenic alopecia.</p><p><strong>Method</strong></p><p>Male rats were taken for conducting studies on androgenic alopecia as they were made alopecic by injected with testosterone intramuscularly and protective effect was observed by Glycyrrhetinic acid and standard finasteride.</p><p><strong>Results and discussion </strong></p><p>The rat group on only testosterone developed alopecia while the animals on finasteride and Glycyrrhetinic acid &nbsp;along with testosterone do not developed alopecia.
