Abstract in brief

Rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract (ROext) was shown to promote hair regrowth in mice, especially after hair growth was interrupted by testosterone treatment, indicating its potential for supporting hair development.
The extract inhibits the enzyme testosterone 5-reductase, which is crucial in androgenic alopecia, with effectiveness increased at higher concentrations, suggesting a mechanism for its hair growth promotion.
Components like 12-methoxycarnosic acid, identified within the extract, also block androgen receptor activity and androgen-dependent cell growth, further supporting ROext's potential as a treatment for hair loss.
