Did you mean PPAR Agonists?

GlossaryPPAR 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 3 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 The Worst Hair Loss Condition You (MAY) have: LPP

in Research/Science 43 upvotes 2 months ago

Lichen Planopilaris (LPP) is an autoimmune condition causing permanent hair loss and fibrosis, often misdiagnosed. Treatments include pioglitazone, topical corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory medication, and Jak inhibitors.

community here is why isotretinoin might cause hair loss and maybe why dupa happens.

in Research/Science 7 upvotes 1 year ago

Isotretinoin may cause hair loss by increasing DHT through a precursor androgen, DHEAS. Treatments like topical antiandrogens (RU58841, pyrilutamide) and drugs increasing PPAR-y expression (pioglitazone) might prevent this hair loss.

community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications

in Research/Science 92 upvotes 2 years ago

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.
