PCOS patients have more central body fat, which can be effectively measured using DEXA.
research Human Biallelic MFN2 Mutations Induce Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Upper Body Adipose Hyperplasia, and Suppression of Leptin Expression
MFN2 mutations cause mitochondrial problems, leading to more upper body fat and lower leptin levels.
research Decision Letter: Human Biallelic MFN2 Mutations Induce Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Upper Body Adipose Hyperplasia, and Suppression of Leptin Expression
MFN2 mutations cause mitochondrial problems, unusual fat distribution, and low leptin despite high body fat.
research Regeneration, Wound Healing, and Cancer
The document concludes that while some organisms can regenerate body parts, mammals generally cannot, and cancer progression is complex, involving mutations rather than a strict stem cell hierarchy.
research The Development of Several Organs and Appendages Is Impaired in Mice Lacking Sp6
Mice without the Sp6 gene have problems developing several body parts, including hair, teeth, limbs, and lungs.
research Prognosis and Outcomes of Forelimb Amputation in Two Raccoon Dogs
Raccoon dogs can adapt well to life with three legs after forelimb amputation.
research Isolated Body Hair Loss: An Unusual Presentation of Lichen Planopilaris
A man with rare Lichen Planopilaris lost body hair, not scalp hair, and treatment stopped itching but didn't regrow hair.
research Exogenous Testosterone Alone or with Finasteride Increases Physical Performance, Grip Strength, and Lean Body Mass in Older Men with Low Serum Testosterone
Testosterone therapy improves physical function, strength, and body composition in older men with low testosterone levels.
