This study found that hair contains tightly bound lipids such as cholesterol sulfate, cholesterol, fatty alcohols, and free fatty acids, which are resistant to solvent extraction.

In this review, researchers examined the physiological benefits of Cheonggukjang, a salt-free fermented soybean paste, highlighting its various health-promoting components that may contribute to improved heart health, diabetes management, and cancer prevention, among other benefits.

In this study, desmopressin-loaded elastic liposomes (ODEL1) showed improved permeation and drug deposition across rat skin by altering the skin's cohesive energies and causing reversible changes on its surface.

This study suggests that young women with low prolactin levels may face higher cardiometabolic risk, and reducing cabergoline dosage reversed related metabolic disturbances.

In this study, while young rats fed a commercial standard diet with possibly deteriorated oil showed normal growth, they also exhibited liver surface changes and altered serum lipid levels compared to those on a defined diet.

This study found that cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was safe, well-tolerated, and induced mild feminizing changes, with more pronounced effects when combined with estrogens.

This study found that in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, PCOS phenotype and oxidative stress markers were significantly related to free androgen index levels, but insulin resistance was not.

The antiandrogen 11α-hydroxyprogesterone effectively reduces skin oil and cholesterol when applied to the skin.

This study found that in young Taiwanese women with PCOS, low sex hormone-binding globulin levels were associated with low HDL cholesterol levels, independent of insulin resistance and obesity.

This study established a normative free androgen index range of 0.7-6.4 and identified a cut-off value of 6.1 for reproductive-age women in southern China, highlighting hyperandrogenic women's increased metabolic disorder risks.

This study found that variations in sleep patterns, free testosterone, and 5-alpha-reductase type 1 activity are associated with changes in sebum excretion in women, which may contribute to variability in acne studies.

This study reports that low levels of HDL cholesterol and IGF-1 were associated with a higher risk of hair loss in middle-aged women, but causal relationships remain uncertain.

This study found that disrupted cholesterol homeostasis impairs hair regrowth in individuals with primary cicatricial alopecia by damaging hair follicle stem cells, highlighting the importance of cholesterol in maintaining stem cell function and hair follicle integrity.

This review discusses the role of cholesterol homeostasis in hair follicle biology and its potential connections to various hair disorders, but it reports no new findings.

This abstract discusses the unclear role of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in postembryonic life in marsupials and possibly humans, reporting no new findings.

This study identified an unexpected critical role for the FATP4 protein in skin and hair development in mice, linking it to a potential candidate gene for restrictive dermopathy in humans.

This paper discusses X-linked ichthyosis and its genetic causes, focusing on biochemical pathways and their role in epidermal differentiation and barrier function, but it presents no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers found that impaired cholesterol biosynthesis in hair follicles may trigger an inflammatory immune response linked to primary cicatricial alopecia, providing new insights into the disorder's pathogenesis.

This review discusses insights from scar-free animal models and cellular factors in skin regeneration, suggesting potential strategies for developing scar-free treatments in clinical and cosmetic practices, but reports no new clinical results.

This commentary reviews potential dietary and mineral influences on androgenetic alopecia and suggests considering a diet low in cholesterol and glycaemic index with improved glucose control and magnesium fortification, without new clinical results.

This study found that injecting xeno-free, three-dimensional cell masses from human adipose-derived stem cells improved blood perfusion and preserved limb function in mice without causing tumors or toxicity, suggesting potential for treating severe ischemic diseases.

This review discusses the role and therapeutic potential of mesenchymal cell-derived exosomes in organ development and disease treatment, highlighting their application in cell-free therapeutic strategies and current challenges faced in their use.

This study found that young women with PCOS had normal thyroid function but showed alterations in lipid metabolism, which may predispose unmarried women in this group to cardiovascular diseases.

This study assessed the nutritional status of emerging adult women with PCOS and found that while their body measurements were higher than standard, their mean biochemical parameters were within the normal range.

Women with severe acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia often have higher levels of certain androgens, but the specific pattern can't be predicted just by looking at symptoms.

In this study, researchers found that knockdown of ABCA5 in primary human hair follicle keratinocytes disrupted cholesterol homeostasis and transportation, suggesting its potential role in hair growth disorders by affecting intracellular cholesterol compartmentalization and LXR-mediated transcriptional activity.

This review explores androgen metabolism in the skin, highlighting enzyme localization and potential implications for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that polycystic ovary syndrome symptoms are uncommon among women with metabolic syndrome, indicating it may represent only a specific subset within the broader context of metabolic syndrome.

This study found that spironolactone treatment can normalize endothelial function and improve cholesterol levels in non-obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Among obese women potentially eligible for combined oral contraceptives, this study observed a higher frequency of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in those with polycystic ovary syndrome.
