adiponectin adipokine adipose tissue hair follicles in vitro

TLDR Adiponectin may help hair grow based on lab tests.

The document from 2010 is a study that aimed to evaluate the effect of adiponectin, a type of adipokine produced and released by adipose tissue, on human hair follicles in vitro. The study was based on the understanding that adipose tissue is not just an energy storage organ, but also actively regulates physiological and pathological processes. The specific effects of adiponectin on hair growth were not detailed in the provided information.
