This study observed that in Japanese females, hair lipid composition showed significant correlations, suggesting CH and CERs may act as a barrier against sebum-derived lipids.
research Studies on the efficacy of methyl esters of n-alkyl fatty acids as penetration enhancers
This study found that methyl nonanoate and methyl caprate significantly enhanced the skin penetration of minoxidil compared to solutions with other common enhancers like Azone, DMSO, or DEET.
research GC-MS Fatty Acid Profile and In silico Studies of Telfairia occidentalis Hook f. (Fluted Pumpkin) and Sphenostylis stenocarpa (African Yam bean) Seeds Oil on Human 5 Alpha Reductase II
This study suggests that 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester from African Yam bean seeds may inhibit the human 5α-reductase II enzyme, potentially helping manage BPH, although further studies are needed.
research Runx1 Role in Epithelial and Cancer Cell Proliferation Implicates Lipid Metabolism and Scd1 and Soat1 Activity
This study found that Runx1 in hair follicle stem cells modulates lipid metabolism, impacting membrane organization and enhancing signal transduction for cell proliferation in both normal and cancer epithelial cells.

4 / 1000+ resultscommunity Bile Acid-Mediated DHT Dysregulation Hypothesis
Elevated bile acids can inhibit the enzyme AKR1C2, leading to increased DHT levels, which may accelerate hair loss in those predisposed to androgenetic alopecia. Treatments mentioned include topical minoxidil and finasteride.
community 5-Months Update: Minoxidil + Red Light Therapy + Lifestyle Changes
The user reported positive hair regrowth after 5 months using Minoxidil, red light therapy, and lifestyle changes, including dietary improvements and stress reduction. They chose natural supplements like saw palmetto and beta-sitosterol over pharmaceutical DHT inhibitors like finasteride.
community Adipocyte lipolysis activates epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration through fatty acid metabolic signaling
Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.
community Got my Oleic fatty acid they used in Korean study. Fuck you mice!
Oleic acid and microneedling are being explored for hair regrowth, but results are mixed. Addressing DHT and fibrosis is crucial, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massage also discussed.
