Abstract
The growth of body and/or head/cranial hair on mammalian organisms, for example humans, is modulated by administering thereto, whether topically and/or systemically, therapeutically effective amounts of at least one lipoxygenase or cyclooxygenase inhibitor, or at least one lipoxygenase or cyclooxygenase stimulator, preferably in the presence of at least one lipoxygenase/cyclooxygenase substrate or precursor thereof; when a hair-growth or hair loss-limiting response is sought to be elicited, a lipoxygenase inhibitor and/or cyclooxygenase stimulator is administered (conversely, to reduce or prevent hair growth, a lipoxygenase stimulator and/or cyclooxygenase inhibitor is administered).
