Abstract:

The effects of the extract of Angelica sinensis on anti-hair loss and hair growth were studied. The efficacy of the extract of Angelica sinensis was evaluated by using different methods such as the model of 5α-reductase inhibition, animal test and human efficacy test. The results showed that this material could inhibit the activity of 5α-reductase in vitro with a dose of 0.5 g/mL. Animal test showed that it could obviously promote hair growth of C57BL/6 mice, and it could induce the hair follicle to enter from telogen into anagen. Human efficacy test showed that the hair loss symptoms could be reduced after using the scalp care essence containing the extract of Angelica sinensis for 7 weeks. In conclusion, the extract of Angelica sinensis could stimulate the hair growth of C57BL/6 mice, and it could help the patients with hair loss symptoms.

Key words: Angelica sinensis, 5α-reductase, hair growth
