In a study of "Anti-alopecia mechanisms of soymetide-4, an immunostimulating peptide derived from soy beta-conglycinin" by Tsuruki T, Takahata K, Yoshikawa M., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researcher indicated that Soymetide-4 has weak affinity for N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) receptor. fMLP showed an anti-alopecia effect after intraperitoneal administration, though it was inactive after oral administration, ......PGE2 is produced after activation of COX by soymetide-4, might suppress apoptosis of hair matrix cells and etoposide-induced alopecia by activating NF-kappaB.
