Mice without active or present vitamin D receptors maintain normal blood sugar control and islet gene expression when calcium levels are normal.
research The Presence of Insulin Resistance and Comparison of Various Insulin Sensitivity Indices in Women with Androgenetic Alopecia
Women with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) are more insulin resistant than healthy women, with various insulin sensitivity indices being higher in the AGA group. An oral glucose tolerance test is suggested for women with AGA.
research Insulin Resistance and Beta-Cell Dysfunction and the Relationship with Cardio-Metabolic Disorders Among Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have more insulin resistance and are more likely to have heart-related health issues, with insulin resistance being a bigger factor than β-cell problems.
research Intracrine Testosterone Activation in Human Pancreatic Beta-Cells Stimulates Insulin Secretion
Testosterone helps human pancreatic cells increase insulin release.
research Serum Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor B Is Elevated in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Can Be Decreased With Metformin Treatment
Women with PCOS have higher levels of a certain growth factor, which can be reduced by taking metformin.

5 / 236 resultscommunity Bruteforcing alopecia or the new advent of science progress
Combining therapies like scyllo-inositol, alpha-ketoglutarate, and autophagy-inducing supplements may enhance hair growth and prevent hair loss. Reporting individual results can accelerate progress in hair loss treatments.
community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.
community Did anybody use beta sisterol for hair loss? I saw in many articles in the internet that said that beta sisterol blocks dht by inhibiting 5a reductase type 2 enzyme and some reviews of people who said that it worked better than saw palmetto in terms of stoping hair loss and helping prostate.
Beta-sitosterol may inhibit 5-alpha reductase type 2 enzyme, potentially reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth, similar to finasteride but possibly with fewer side effects. Its effectiveness and side effects compared to other treatments like saw palmetto and finasteride remain uncertain due to limited research.
community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia
DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
