Abstract;The clinical examination of the formulation containing glyceryl monopentadecanoate (PDG, main ingredient) and Coleus extract was carried out to evaluate the effect on male pattern baldness. 20 male subjects were treated for 24 weeks. In the result of evaluation of improvement based on clinical hair finding, the percentage of improved cases was 75%. In the results of the anagen hair count, the mean of the number of anagen hair in a transitional area of bald and hairy zone on the frontal scalp (1cm2) increased from 37.3 to 45.2 throughout the test (Significant p<0.01, ratio of increase 21%). No adverse effects were recognized in all subjects. These results indicate the high efficacy of the formulation containing PDG and Coleus extract on male pattern baldness. (author abst.)
