In the present study, we report that the alpha9 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes is reversibly blocked by aminoglycoside antibiotics. The aminoglycosides tested blocked the alpha9 nAChR in a concentration-dependent manner with the following rank order of potency: neomycin>gentamicin>streptomycin>amikacin>kanamycin. The antagonistic effect of gentamicin was not overcome by increasing the concentration of acetylcholine (ACh), indicative of a non-competitive type of block. Blockage of ACh-evoked currents by gentamicin was found to be voltage-dependent, being more potent at hyperpolarized than at depolarized holding potentials. Furthermore, gentamicin blockage was dependent upon the extracellular Ca(2+) concentration, shown by the fact that increments in extracellular Ca(2+) significantly reduced the potency of this aminoglycoside to block the alpha9 nAChR. Possible mechanisms of blockage by the aminoglycosides are discussed. The present results suggest that the initial reversible actions of aminoglycosides at the organ of Corti, such as the elimination of the olivocochlear efferent function, are due in part to the interaction with the native alpha9-containing cholinergic receptor of the outer hair cells.

DreamPharm's Hair Million addresses hair loss problems. Numerous anecdotal cases have demonstrated that this herbal formula based on authentic Chinese herbs actually improves the age-related hair thinning and hair loss among a significant fraction of people who take it regularly. We still do not understand the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to stop hair loss and promote hair growth, despite all the positive anecdotal observations. Neither scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical analysis has been conducted because it will cost dearly. Lack of scientific/clinical research is quite common in herbal arena. Just because science hasn't scrutinized we should not stop taking daily food and herbal supplements altogether: our life must go on until we have better understandings of food and herb. There are two merits in this hair restoration herbal formula: Firstly, Hair Million is relatively inexpensive, and secondly, it is made of edible herbs that are known to be safe when consumed in regular quantities.

DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands. DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
