Did you mean Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Agonists?

GlossaryPPAR Agonists (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Agonists)

activate nuclear receptors to regulate metabolism and inflammation

PPAR Agonists, or Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Agonists, are compounds that activate PPARs, which are nuclear receptor proteins that regulate gene expression. These receptors play a crucial role in metabolism, inflammation, and cell differentiation, making PPAR agonists valuable in treating conditions like diabetes, obesity, and certain types of hair loss, such as alopecia.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

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.
