    Studysummary In this study, lipid metabolism was found to be reduced in scalp tissues of patients with androgenetic alopecia, and lipid supplementation enhanced hair growth-related gene expression in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting a potential role for lipids in promoting hair growth through HIF-1 signaling.
