Abstract
The invention relates to methods of inhibiting hair growth in a subject, the method comprises administering an inhibitor of lactic acid fermentation to the subject, wherein the inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase inhibitor, desoxyrhapontigenin, a phosphofructokinases inhibitor, a thioredoxin-1 inhibitor, L- Asparaginase, a GLUT1 inhibitor, a glutaminase C inhibitor, a hexokinase inhibitor and an mTORCI and mTORC2 inhibitor. Also provided herein are compositions for inhibiting hair growth and methods of screening for inhibitors of hair growth.
