    GlossaryLipid Production (Lipid Biosynthesis)

    cells create essential fats and oils for energy and structure

    Lipid production, also known as lipid synthesis or lipid biosynthesis, is the process by which cells create lipids, which are essential fats and oils. These lipids play crucial roles in storing energy, forming cell membranes, and serving as signaling molecules. The process involves converting simpler molecules like acetyl-CoA into complex lipids through enzymatic reactions, primarily occurring in the liver and adipose tissue.

      A 22-year-old male is not seeing hair regrowth after using minoxidil and finasteride for a year and additional treatments for three months. Suggestions include improving scalp absorption with sea salt and trying a lipid-based solution, microneedling, and possibly switching to dutasteride if no improvement after 1-2 years.

      Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.
