Did you mean Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ?

GlossaryPeroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma

nuclear receptor protein regulating genes for fat storage and glucose metabolism

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma (PPARγ) is a type of nuclear receptor protein that regulates the expression of specific genes involved in fat storage, glucose metabolism, and inflammation. It plays a crucial role in the development of adipose tissue and is a target for drugs used to treat conditions like type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

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

in Research 830 upvotes 11 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 3 months 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.
