https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3558911/ From 1987So what was the outcome of the minoxidil Test For hairloss in Monkeys in comparison to the BAY ?
"The effect of topical minoxidil (5% and 2% solutions) on hair regrowth was studied in the frontal bald scalp of 18 adolescent and adult stump-tailed macaques (Macaca arctoides). Gross observation of the hairiness and folliculogram analysis of the skin biopsy specimens have shown that minoxidil induces the enlargement of vellus follicles to the size of middle to terminal follicles (regrowth of hair effect), minoxidil maintains the terminal follicles in the prebald scalp of periadolescent animals (prevention of baldness effect), enlarged follicles regress after minoxidil is withdrawn, and hair follicular growth is once again stimulated when treatment with minoxidil is reinstituted. Hair regrowth was more prominent in the early stage of baldness among younger macaques than in baldness of longer duration in older animals."
BAY apparently is even better because it also worked on older macaques and for a longer period
