research Association of Androgenetic Alopecia and Hyperlipidemia
Men with a certain type of hair loss (vertex type AGA) may have higher levels of bad fats (triglycerides) and lower levels of good cholesterol (HDL), suggesting they could be at risk for high fat levels in the blood (hyperlipidemia).
research Aldosterone- and Cortisol-Cosecreting Adrenal Adenoma, Ovarian Hyperthecosis, and Breast Cancer
The conclusion is that thorough investigation of hypertension and hormonal dysfunctions is important, and there may be a link between these conditions and cancer.
research Monocyclic Aromatic Compounds: Synthesis and Biological Activities
Monocyclic aromatic compounds are important for developing various drugs and treatments.
research The Role of Lipids in Promoting Hair Growth Through HIF-1 Signaling Pathway
This study investigates the role of lipids in hair growth, particularly through the HIF-1 signaling pathway. Researchers observed reduced lipid metabolism in the scalp tissues of patients with androgenetic alopecia. Supplementing lipids in culture mediums enhanced hair growth-related gene expression and the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells (DPCs). RNA-sequencing and HIF-1a knockdown experiments identified HIF-1a as a key regulator in lipid-induced upregulation of trichogenic genes. Additionally, lipids were shown to promote the elongation of hair-shaft-like structures in vitro. These findings suggest that targeting lipid metabolism and HIF-1 signaling could be a promising approach for treating hair loss.
research Facile Fabrication of Cedrol Nanoemulsions with Deep Transdermal Delivery Ability and High Safety for Effective Androgenic Alopecia Treatment
Cedrol nanoemulsions effectively treat hair loss by promoting hair growth and reducing DHT levels safely.
research Assessing Medication Use Patterns Among Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome at a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital in South Korea: A Retrospective Study
Most patients with PCOS were prescribed medroxyprogesterone acetate or oral contraceptives, with some experiencing side effects or needing prescription changes.
research Liposome-Based Carriers for CRISPR Genome Editing
Liposomes show promise for delivering CRISPR for gene editing but face challenges like delivery efficiency and safety concerns.
research Prospective Study of the Metabolic Effects of Tumescent Liposuction
Tumescent liposuction reduces waist and hip size but doesn't significantly change metabolic markers, though it may slightly improve blood pressure and certain protein levels.
research Skin Lesions in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS often causes skin problems due to hormonal and metabolic imbalances.

Women with androgenic alopecia may have a higher risk of artery problems.
research Frequency of Deranged Blood Lipids in Male Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia
Many men with male pattern baldness have abnormal blood fat levels, which may raise their risk of heart disease.
research Influence of Finasteride Treatment on Metabolic Profile of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Taking 1 mg finasteride for a year reduces dihydrotestosterone levels in men with early hair loss, but doesn't change their metabolic state.
research Acne and Sebaceous Gland Function
Effective acne treatments should reduce sebum, bacteria, and inflammation, with isotretinoin being the best for severe cases.
research Spermidine/Spermine-N1-Acetyltransferase: A Key Metabolic Regulator
Spermidine/spermine-N(1)-acetyltransferase (SSAT) was identified as a crucial enzyme regulating cellular polyamine content, impacting normal and neoplastic growth, ion channel regulation, and potentially cancer chemotherapy. SSAT activity was highly regulated and could be induced by various stimuli, affecting polyamine homeostasis and linking polyamine metabolism to lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Increased SSAT activity led to a futile cycle consuming ATP and acetyl-CoA, and was associated with adverse effects such as pancreatic cell death, tissue growth blockage, behavioral changes, and hair loss. SSAT also interacted with proteins like hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha and NF-kappaB, though the exact mechanisms were unclear. While SSAT was considered a potential target for diseases beyond cancer, its broad physiological effects necessitated careful targeting to avoid toxicity.
