l-Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate promotes elongation of hair shafts via the secretion of insulin-like growth factor-1 from dermal papilla cells through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase

Summary Background  l‐Ascorbic acid 2‐phosphate (Asc 2‐P), a derivative of l‐ascorbic acid, promotes elongation of hair shafts in cultured human hair follicles and induces hair growth in mice. Objectives  To investigate whether the promotion of hair growth by Asc 2‐P is mediated by insulin‐like grow...
