Glossary11β-Hydroxylase Deficiency

genetic disorder causing hormone imbalances and adrenal gland dysfunction

11β-Hydroxylase Deficiency is a genetic disorder that affects the adrenal glands, leading to an imbalance in hormone production. Specifically, it results in reduced levels of cortisol and aldosterone, and an excess of androgens, which can cause symptoms like high blood pressure, early puberty, and ambiguous genitalia in newborns. This condition is a form of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH).

community You will lose hair if your prostaglandins aren't in balance

in Research/Science 58 upvotes 1 year ago

Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hair follicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.
