Glossary 15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2

lipid compound with anti-inflammatory and immune-regulating properties

15-deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2) is a type of prostaglandin, which are lipid compounds that have hormone-like effects in the body. 15d-PGJ2 is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and its role in regulating immune responses. It can also influence cell growth and differentiation, making it relevant in studies related to hair growth and alopecia.
