20 / 171 resultsresearch Docosahexaenoic Acid Slows Inflammation Resolution and Impairs the Quality of Healed Skin Tissue
This study found that higher levels of DHA from omega-3 fatty acids delayed inflammation resolution and impaired wound healing quality in both transgenic mice and wild-type mice supplemented with DHA.
research Effect and Mechanism of Docosahexaenoic Acid on the Proliferation of Dermal Papilla Cells
This article discusses the role of dermal papilla and dermal sheath cells in the hair cycle and reviews finasteride and minoxidil's mechanisms in promoting hair growth, but presents no new clinical findings.
research Docosahexaenoic Acid-Acylated Astaxanthin Esters Alleviate Cisplatin-Induced Acute Kidney Injury by Modulating the Ferroptosis-Related GPX4/xCT Signaling Pathway and Reducing Oxidative Stress
This research examined krill oil's effects on benign prostatic hyperplasia and found that it inhibited the growth of prostate cells in vitro and reduced prostate size and weight in a BPH rat model, suggesting potential as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for BPH.
research Mackerel-Derived Fermented Fish Oil Promotes Hair Growth by Anagen-Stimulating Pathways
This study found that mackerel-derived fermented fish oil extract and its component DHA promote hair growth by activating anagen pathways in dermal papilla cells.
research Positive Impact of Fish Oil on Diabetic and Hypercholesterolemic Skin Disorders
This study suggests that fish oil, specifically its components EPA and DHA, play a beneficial role in promoting skin health by supporting epidermal growth and reducing proinflammatory cytokines.
research Delta-6 Desaturase Knockout Mouse Illustrates Previously Undocumented Pathology
In this study, D6D knockout mice showed severe deficiency in AA and DHA, leading to unexpected effects on skin health, fertility, and immune cell development.
research Lymphatic Remodeling and Metabolic Rescue by VEGFR-3/DHA-Coordinated Microneedles for Hair Regeneration
This study developed a dissolvable microneedle system delivering specific molecules to remodel lymphatic networks and normalize metabolic processes, which accelerated hair growth and activated hair follicle stem cells in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia.
research Diet and the Dermal White Adipose Tissue: Analyzing Shifts in the Cutaneous Lipid Landscape in Response to Dietary Change
In this study, mice fed various high-fat diets showed changes in dermal white adipose tissue lipid composition, with decreases in essential omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for skin health.
research Morpho-Anatomy, Chemical Variability, And Biological Activity Of The Fixed Oil From Seeds Of Apeiba Tibourbou Aubl. – Malvaceae
In this study, the fixed oil extracted from Apeiba tibourbou seeds showed potential analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, with prominent constituents including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
research Bioengineered Plants as a Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
This review discusses the importance of omega-3 fatty acids for human health and explores recent advancements in genetically modifying plants to produce these essential nutrients, but reports no new results.
research Applications of Fish Oil in Cosmetics and Therapy
This abstract outlines the potential benefits of fish oil, which contains omega-3 fatty acids, highlighting its use in improving skin health, promoting hair growth, and offering therapeutic effects, making it a popular ingredient in cosmetics and therapies.
research Epoxy Fatty Acids and Inhibition of the Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Selectively Modulate GABA Mediated Neurotransmission to Delay Onset of Seizures
The researchers found that inhibiting soluble epoxide hydrolase, either genetically or pharmacologically, delayed the onset of chemically induced seizures related to GABA antagonism in experimental models.
research Fatty Acids and Related Lipid Mediators in the Regulation of Cutaneous Inflammation
This review explores the role of fatty acids and bioactive lipid mediators in skin health and suggests targeting this metabolic network to control inflammation and improve skin conditions, but it reports no new findings.
research ERK1/2 Pathway Involvement in Enhancement of Fatty Acids from Phaeodactylum Tricornutum Extract on Hair Follicle Cell Proliferation
This study found that Phaeodactylum tricornutum extract enhanced hair follicle cell proliferation, indicated by increased keratin and ERK1/2 signaling, suggesting its potential for hair care applications.
research Perturbations in Fatty Acid Metabolism and Collagen Production Infer Pathogenicity of a Novel MBTPS2 Variant in Osteogenesis Imperfecta
The researchers reported that the novel MBTPS2 variant p.Glu172Asp found in a male proband is likely pathogenic, consistent with osteogenesis imperfecta symptoms and molecular signatures, including disrupted fatty acid metabolism and collagen production.
research Annurca Apple Polyphenols Protect Murine Hair Follicles from Taxane-Induced Dystrophy and Redirect Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Metabolism Toward β-Oxidation
This study reports that polyphenols from Annurca apples may safely promote hair growth and protect against chemotherapy-induced alopecia without interfering with chemotherapy regimens.
research The Suppression of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids Is Associated with Skin Carcinogenesis
This study suggests that the expression of VLCFA biosynthesis genes is suppressed in skin hyperplasia and cancer, which could influence keratinocyte function.
research Diagnosing Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency
This letter discusses how outdated measurement technology may obscure evidence of essential fatty acid deficiency in low-fat diet patients, potentially leading to undiagnosed EFA insufficiencies related to heart disease.
research Gut Microbiota Shapes the Effects of Saturated and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Skin and Hair Follicle Homeostasis
This study found that omega-6 and saturated fatty acid-enriched diets promote weight gain and certain skin changes regardless of gut microbiota, while omega-3 diets limit adiposity and affect skin in a microbiota-dependent way in mice, highlighting a diet–microbiota–lipid relationship in skin health.
research Chronic Inflammatory Diseases Stimulated by Current Lifestyle: How Diet, Stress Levels, and Medication Prevent Our Body from Recovering
This article suggests that modern lifestyle changes, including diet, stress, and chronic anti-inflammatory medication use, may disrupt the natural process of inflammation resolution, increasing vulnerability to chronic disease.
