Vasorelaxing effects of flavonoids: investigation on the possible involvement of potassium channels.
Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol. 2004.
A flavonoid-rich diet has been associated with a lower incidence of cardiovascular diseases, probably because of the antioxidant and vasoactive properties of flavonoids. Indeed, many flavonoids show vasorelaxing properties, due to different and often not yet completely clarified mechanisms of action. Among them, the activation of vascular potassium channels has been indicated as a possible pathway, accounting, at least in part, for the vasodilatory action of some flavonoid derivatives, such as apigenin and dioclein. Therefore, this work aims at evaluating, on in vitro isolated rat aortic rings, the endothelium-independent vasorelaxing effects of a number of flavonoid derivatives, to identify a possible activation of calcium-activated and/or ATP-sensitive potassium channels and to indicate some possible structure-activity relationships. Among the several flavonoids submitted to the pharmacological assay, only baicalein and quercetagetin were almost completely ineffective, while quercetin, hesperidin, quercitrin and rhoifolin exhibited only a partial vasorelaxing effect. On the contrary, acacetin, apigenin, chrysin, hesperetin, luteolin, pinocembrin, 4'-hydroxyflavanone, 5-hydroxyflavone, 5-methoxyflavone, 6-hydroxyflavanone and 7-hydroxyflavone, belonging to the chemical classes of flavones and flavanones, showed full vasorelaxing effects. The vasodilatory activity of hesperetin, luteolin, 5-hydroxyflavone and 7-hydroxyflavone were antagonised by tetraethylammonium chloride, indicating the possible involvement of calcium-activated potassium channels. Moreover, iberiotoxin clearly antagonised the effects of 5-hydroxyflavone, indicating the probable importance of a structural requirement (the hydroxy group in position 5) for a possible interaction with large-conductance, calcium-activated potassium channels.

Hair disorders cause psychological distress but are generally poorly controlled; more effective treatments are required. Despite the long-standing use of minoxidil for balding, its mechanism is unclear; suggestions include action on vasculature or follicle cells. Similar drugs also stimulate hair, implicating ATP-sensitive potassium (Katp) channels...Minoxidil and tolbutamide, a Katp channel blocker, opposed eachother's effects on the growing phase (anagen) of scalp follicles cultured in media with and without insulin...These findings indicate that human follicular dermal papillae contain Katp channels that can respond to minoxidil and that tolbutamide may supress hair growth clinically; novel drugs designed specifically for these channels could treat hair disorders.

Human Data. Apigenin appears to be absorbable by humans after intake of
parsley (Petroselinum crispum). In a randomized crossover study with two
one-week intervention periods in succession, fourteen volunteers consumed a
diet that included 20 g parsley. The urinary excretion of apigenin was
significantly higher (P < 0.05) during the intervention with parsley (20.7 –
5727.3 g/24 hr) than during the basic diet (0 – 1571.7 g/24 hr). The half-life for
apigenin was calculated to be on the order of 12 hr. Significant individual
variation in the bioavailability and excretion of apigenin was observed (Nielsen
et al., 1999).

Why doesn't he just sell it on his website if it reverses hair loss? He has no problem selling 10000 other products.

Nah Dude, you're wrong about Wolfe. Wolfe is all the way legit.

If you watch the next video like vid 2 or 3 of his 2009 birthday party... he says you can grow cocao in your house in New York if you want..

He goes onto say, what if you stabilized cocao with hydrogen and sold it as a bar... that people could use to massage into their scalp.

He's also saying he doesn't need to collect the bark, the cocao oil fat works for this too. That is available, right now. Sunfood.com

(I found this forum by accident researching cancer cures.. google sent me. Cool Group.)

I don't know, but my guess is kinda like this... Take OMG for example, and the guys on worldhairloss.org, they talk about their best and most real threads going away and getting deleted or just trashed. I believe them. Wolfe is pretty extreme already. He's not going to take on the system for anyone. He just wants to keep on experimenting and bring material to the surface. What you do with it is up to you. (like I said before ionic tin was another he suggested years ago. I couldn't get it from meminerals.com because they were sold out. THis was back when Wolfe carried their line of ionic minerals) But now water Oz makes one 2x bigger and half the price, pry perfectly comparable.

Lots of people kicking tires and ridiculing, and then you get some rockstars that just dive in! Haha, I like that you've already soaked beans... I bought some when I was at whole foods tonight. I'm gonna retry it. Technically if it's a full bean, not just a cocao nib, it should release enzymes into the water. Kinda like an almond would. Raw foodists soak stuff all the time, so it makes sense he would. And his idea of "gel" or whatever he called it, might be different than what we would expect.

In answer to a previous question.. I think I searched lysine or L- acet(something) C(something) and cancer.
