research Mechanisms of Puerariae Lobatae Radix in regulating sebaceous gland secretion: insights from network pharmacology and experimental validation

3 citations , July 2024 in “Frontiers in Pharmacology”

This study demonstrates that Puerariae Lobatae Radix may regulate skin lipid metabolism by inhibiting sebaceous gland growth and reducing triglyceride secretion, highlighting its therapeutic potential for sebaceous gland-related conditions.

research Inhibition of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase explains the increased excretion of 3‐hydroxyisovaleric acid in valproate‐treated patients

20 citations , December 2011 in “Journal of inherited metabolic disease”

This study found that valproic acid may interfere with the leucine metabolic pathway by inhibiting 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase and biotinidase, which could contribute to side effects like skin rash and hair loss in patients.

research Genetically Altered Expression of Spermidine/Spermine N1-Acetyltransferase Affects Fat Metabolism in Mice via Acetyl-CoA

128 citations , December 2006 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry”

This study found that overexpression of the enzyme spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase in mice was associated with increased fat oxidation and a leaner phenotype, while knock-out mice exhibited increased fat accumulation.

research Acetyl-CoA synthesis in the skin is a key determinant of systemic lipid homeostasis

5 citations , February 2025 in “Cell Reports”

In this study, inducible whole-body Acly-knockout mice revealed that ACLY is essential for skin homeostasis, as its deficiency led to increased sebum production and skin abnormalities, indicating a vital role for cytosolic acetyl-CoA synthesis in preserving skin barrier integrity and systemic lipid regulation.

research Spermidine/spermine-N¹-acetyltransferase: a key metabolic regulator

305 citations , March 2008 in “AJP Endocrinology and Metabolism”

This article reviews the regulation and roles of spermidine/spermine-N(1)-acetyltransferase (SSAT) in polyamine metabolism and its potential as a target in cancer and other diseases, without reporting new experimental results.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 2 years ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

140 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
