This case report details a 38-year-old woman in Sri Lanka diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus-associated protein-losing enteropathy, identified through hypoalbuminemia and EULAR criteria in a resource-limited setting.

This study developed a reliable RP-HPLC-DAD method, finding that amino acid concentrations in bleached hair decrease with higher hydrogen peroxide levels, notably affecting cystine.

In this study, the inclusion of a feedstuff high in energy along with soybean meal enhanced body condition, body mass index, and reproductive performance in sheep fed low-protein forage.

This study found that adding sheep wool-waste or human hair-waste to soil increased yields and secondary metabolites in various crops and supported up to five harvests without additional fertilizers, though it decreased mycorrhizae colonization.

This study found that Naked trait mice exhibit a decrease in certain low-molecular-weight proteins in their hair, which contain high levels of glycine and tyrosine, compared to normal mice.

In this study, researchers identified key miRNAs and target genes involved in hair follicle development in Merino sheep, providing insights that could aid in improving sheep breeding for wool quality.

This study found that the expressions of CDK inhibitors p21waf1/cip1 and p27kip1 were higher during the anagen phase compared to telogen, suggesting a role in follicular epithelial cell differentiation.

This study described a method using sodium dodecanoate and high levels of reductant to process hair shaft proteomes, allowing analysis of genetic, developmental, and forensic information beneficial to various scientific fields.

In this case report, a male patient with hair loss showed unusually high testosterone levels without other symptoms or supplement use; follow-up testing revealed normal levels, showcasing the importance of considering testosterone-protein binding differences and using equilibrium dialysis for accurate assessment.

Methylmercury accumulates in mouse hair during growth, then decreases when growth stops.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significant systemic inflammation and vitamin D deficiency, with both conditions more pronounced as disease severity increased.

This case report examines the long-term impact of extensive anabolic-androgenic steroid use on metabolic and cardiovascular health, highlighting adverse effects to guide primary care for this patient group.

In this study, XZYFD, a Traditional Chinese Medicine formulation, was found to improve androgenetic alopecia in a testosterone-induced mouse model by promoting hair regrowth, restoring follicular morphology, and modulating androgen metabolism, MAPK signaling, and lipid metabolism pathways, suggesting potential benefits for patients with metabolic dysfunction.

This review discusses the limitations of current hair classification systems and highlights the need for standardized reporting of key hair characteristics to improve study comparisons; it reports no new results.

This Mendelian randomization study suggests a causal link between higher BMI and increased risk of psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa, potentially due to elevated biomarkers such as triglycerides and C-reactive protein.

This study found that Magra sheep with high-luster wool exhibited significantly higher expression of keratin genes, suggesting that increased keratin protein levels may be crucial for wool luster.

Men with early balding should be checked for metabolic syndrome, as there's a link between the two.

This study found that euthyroid women with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis experienced less benefit from atorvastatin treatment in terms of cardiometabolic marker improvements compared to women with hypercholesterolemia but without thyroid issues, indicating a differential response in these populations.

This study suggests that lisinopril's cardiometabolic effects are weaker in men with early-onset male-pattern baldness compared to those with normal hair growth.

This study found that thalamic GABAA receptor α4 subunit levels increased after prolonged ethanol exposure and were regulated by phosphorylation and neuroactive steroids following acute high-dose ethanol administration.

In this case study, authors reported that a 43-year-old female patient initially showed persistently high testosterone levels due to immunoassay interference, later verified as normal using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), highlighting the need to consider assay artifacts in diagnosing hyperandrogenism without clinical signs.

This study observed that patients with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher serum FABP4 levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting FABP4 may be involved in the condition's pathogenesis.

This study found that lower dietary protein with supplemented methionine allowed blue foxes to grow normally and produce high-quality pelts while reducing feed costs and environmental phosphorus and nitrogen loads.

In this study, Diane treatment in women with androgenetic alopecia led to normalization of hormone levels and improved hair condition, including less greasiness and reduced hair loss.

LDL apheresis lowers inflammation and cardiovascular risk by reducing CRP levels long-term.

This study suggests that basonuclin may act as a tissue-specific transcription factor for ribosomal RNA genes by interacting with the promoter region necessary for high transcription levels in human keratinocytes.

This study suggests that polyamines regulate CK2 enzyme activity and its subcellular distribution, as demonstrated in mouse models and cell cultures with elevated levels of ornithine decarboxylase.

This study found that high-dose intravenous iron therapy was effective and safe for patients with inflammatory bowel disease-associated anemia, improving hemoglobin and iron levels, reducing inflammation markers, and alleviating disease activity and symptoms, even in those with active inflammation.

This study found that sows consuming beet pulp had higher feed intake and improved litter performance during heat stress, while a high-fiber diet enhanced insulin levels, suggesting dietary fiber's importance for reproductive and metabolic health in sows.

This pilot study found elevated levels of leptin and other proinflammatory molecules in the serum of melanoma patients, suggesting a potential role for leptin in melanoma progression and a possibility for targeting it in adjuvant therapy.
