    GlossaryLipid Homeostasis (Lipid Regulation)

    body's regulation of fat synthesis, storage, and breakdown

    Lipid homeostasis, also known as lipid balance or lipid regulation, refers to the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment for lipids, which are fats and fat-like substances. This involves the regulation of lipid synthesis, storage, and breakdown to ensure that cells and tissues have the right amount of lipids for energy production, cell membrane structure, and signaling functions. Proper lipid homeostasis is crucial for overall health, as imbalances can lead to conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disorders.

      in Research/Science  138 upvotes 9 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

      community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

      in Research/Science  65 upvotes 1 year ago
      Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.
