5 / 1000+ resultsresearch A keratin scaffold regulates epidermal barrier formation, mitochondrial lipid composition, and activity
In this study, researchers found that the absence of type I or type II keratins in mice leads to severe skin barrier defects, highlighting keratins' crucial role in epidermal structure and function.
research Obesity resistance of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase-deficient (scd1 -/-) mouse results from disruption of the epidermal lipid barrier and adaptive thermoregulation
In this study, targeted deletion of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 gene in mice disrupted the epidermal lipid barrier, leading to increased water loss, impaired thermoregulation, and metabolic issues.
research Hair Growth Cycle Is Arrested in SCD1 Deficiency by Impaired Wnt3a-Palmitoleoylation and Retrieved by the Artificial Lipid Barrier
An artificial lipid barrier can restore hair growth in cases of SCD1 deficiency.
research Lipid loses and barrier function modifications of the brown‐to‐white hair transition
This study found that white hair fibers have lower lipid content and different water absorption dynamics compared to brown hair fibers, suggesting differences in their barrier functions.

The user started using minoxidil foam daily after two years on finasteride and is managing seborrheic dermatitis with antifungal shampoo. They seek advice on moisturizing products that won't worsen their condition, with suggestions including gentle shampoos and light ceramide serums.
community How finasteride lowers brain's happiness steroid allopregnanolone and causes depression: systemic dihydroprogesterone crosses blood brain barrier, you don't even need finasteride and brain 5ar for that
Finasteride may lower allopregnanolone levels, potentially affecting mood, but many users report improved mental health due to reduced hair loss. Experiences with finasteride and dutasteride vary, with some experiencing side effects and others finding them beneficial for hair retention and overall happiness.
community Why is dutasteride's volume of distribution so much bigger than finasteride? Is it more lipophilic and crosses barriers better?
Dutasteride has a larger volume of distribution than finasteride due to its lipophilic nature, allowing it to concentrate in hydrophobic areas and making it difficult to excrete. A user experiencing hair loss has been using oral finasteride for 10 months with minimal regrowth and is considering switching to dutasteride or adding oral minoxidil.
community How come Dut doesn’t cause more brain problems than fin if it inhibits Type 1 5AR?
Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risk profiles despite Dutasteride blocking more types of 5AR in the brain. Some users report no mood issues with either drug, and it is suggested that Dutasteride's larger molecular size may limit its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
community DHT Itch and Oily Scalp Explained (and how to fix it)
Malassezia overgrowth can worsen oily scalp and inflammation, contributing to hair loss. Treatments include antifungal shampoos, C6/C8 MCT oil, low-dose isotretinoin, finasteride, and dutasteride.
