    GlossaryLipid Accumulation

    excessive fat build-up within cells or tissues

    Lipid accumulation, also known as fat accumulation, refers to the build-up of lipids (fats) within cells or tissues. This process can occur in various parts of the body, including the liver, muscles, and skin, and is often associated with metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. In the context of hair and alopecia, excessive lipid accumulation in the scalp can potentially disrupt normal hair follicle function, contributing to hair loss.
