    GlossaryPPAR-delta agonists

    compounds that activate receptors regulating metabolism and inflammation

    PPAR-delta agonists are compounds that activate the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPAR-δ), a type of nuclear receptor involved in regulating genes related to metabolism, inflammation, and cell differentiation. These agonists are being studied for their potential benefits in treating metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of hair loss, as they can influence fat burning, energy balance, and skin health.

      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.

      The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
