    GlossaryLipid Production

    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.

      community He used Dutasteride for 20 years. Interview

      in Treatment  111 upvotes 4 months ago
      Dutasteride has been used for 20 years with some hair thickness improvement but no dramatic regrowth. The user also experimented with minoxidil, tretinoin, and peptides like BPC 157 for potential benefits in hair density and quality.

      community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

      in Research  830 upvotes 7 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 You will lose hair if your prostaglandins aren't in balance

      in Research/Science  55 upvotes 1 week ago
      Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hair follicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.

      community Minoxidil Sulfate makes everyone a responder

      in Research/Science  261 upvotes 4 months ago
      Minoxidil sulfate is more effective than regular minoxidil, especially for those with low sulfotransferase levels or scalp sensitivity, but it is unstable unless delivered in a liposomal format. Combining minoxidil with tretinoin can enhance effectiveness, and stopping minoxidil use can lead to rapid hair loss.
