GlossaryAdipose Tissue

connective tissue that stores energy as body fat

Adipose tissue, commonly known as body fat, is a type of connective tissue that stores energy in the form of fat. It also serves as insulation to help regulate body temperature and provides cushioning to protect internal organs. This tissue is composed of adipocytes, which are specialized cells that store lipids, and it plays a crucial role in metabolic processes and hormone production.

community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects

in Research/Science 30 upvotes 5 months ago

Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.

community The Big Fat Layer II

in Research/Science 26 upvotes 4 years ago

Hair loss treatment should target dermal white adipose tissue (DWAT) to restore hair follicles. Potential remedies include tocopherol (vitamin E), botox, rosiglitazone, niacin, kojyl cinnamate esters, and ADP355.

community Injecting stomach fat into the scalp could cure baldness in just six months

in Update 114 upvotes 6 years ago

A potential treatment for hair loss that involves injecting fat into the scalp; the role of testosterone and estrogen in thinning fat tissue under the skin; research on using lard to treat androgenic alopecia, as well as PRP + ACELL/amniotic stem cell treatments; and ongoing clinical trials by doctors involved in the study.

in Satire 7 upvotes 4 months ago

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on the use of topical minoxidil, microneedling, finasteride, and dutasteride, while debating the role of testosterone and DHT in hair loss. It also touches on the potential liver health impacts of these treatments and the genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens.
