    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.

      in Treatment  107 upvotes 1 month 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.

      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 Minoxidil Sulfate makes everyone a responder

      in Research/Science  255 upvotes 1 month 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.
