Did you mean PPAR Agonists?

GlossaryPPAR Agonists

activate nuclear receptors to regulate metabolism and inflammation

PPAR Agonists, or Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Agonists, are compounds that activate PPARs, which are nuclear receptor proteins that regulate gene expression. These receptors play a crucial role in metabolism, inflammation, and cell differentiation, making PPAR agonists valuable in treating conditions like diabetes, obesity, and certain types of hair loss, such as alopecia.

community Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens

in Research 413 upvotes 2 weeks ago

Treating androgenic alopecia with minoxidil, finasteride, and antiandrogens, alongside exercise, cryotherapy, and natural substances to stimulate cold receptors for better hair growth. The method focuses on enhancing treatment effectiveness by considering environmental and behavioral factors and the role of cold receptors and muscle stress.

community Interesting article links major MPB theories to western diet (and life-style)

in Research/Science 55 upvotes 1 month ago

Poor diet and lifestyle contribute to male pattern baldness. Treatments like Minoxidil, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments may help slow hair loss.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 4 months 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 The Worst Hair Loss Condition You (MAY) have: LPP

in Research/Science 43 upvotes 3 months ago

Lichen Planopilaris (LPP) is an autoimmune condition causing permanent hair loss and fibrosis, often misdiagnosed. Treatments include pioglitazone, topical corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory medication, and Jak inhibitors.

community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications

in Research/Science 92 upvotes 2 years ago

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 here is why isotretinoin might cause hair loss and maybe why dupa happens.

in Research/Science 7 upvotes 1 year ago

Isotretinoin may cause hair loss by increasing DHT through a precursor androgen, DHEAS. Treatments like topical antiandrogens (RU58841, pyrilutamide) and drugs increasing PPAR-y expression (pioglitazone) might prevent this hair loss.

community Is there a topical androgen receptor blocker so we don't have to fuck with the enzyme and destroy our allopregnanolone, but go and hit the end target straight?

in Treatment 47 upvotes 7 months ago

The conversation discusses topical androgen receptor blockers for hair loss, mentioning Clascoterone, Pyrilutamide, GT20029, and RU58841. Ketoconazole's effectiveness and application methods are also debated.
