research Sebaceous Gland Atrophy Due to Seborrheic Dermatitis in a Patient with Alopecia: A Potential Pitfall
Skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis can make it harder to correctly diagnose hair loss because they can cause the oil glands in the skin to shrink.
research Heparan Sulfate Regulates Hair Follicle and Sebaceous Gland Morphogenesis and Homeostasis
Heparan sulfate is important for hair growth, preventing new hair formation in mature skin, and controlling oil gland development.
research Isotretinoin Treatment Upregulates the Expression of P53 in the Skin and Sebaceous Glands of Patients with Acne Vulgaris
Acne treatment with isotretinoin increases the presence of p53, a protein, in skin and oil glands, which may help reduce acne severity.
research Male Pattern Alopecia: A Histopathologic and Histochemical Study
Male pattern baldness involves smaller hair follicles, larger oil glands, and other tissue changes, but not major blood supply issues.
research C/EBPα and C/EBPβ Are Required for Sebocyte Differentiation and Stratified Squamous Differentiation in Adult Mouse Skin
C/EBPalpha and C/EBPbeta are crucial for normal skin and oil gland cell development in adult mice.
research Effects of AiQingHua Oil on Microcirculation Disturbance and Alopecia in Mice Models
AiQingHua oil improves blood flow and promotes hair growth in mice.
research Intracrinology and the Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research Phylogeny of the Hair Follicle: The Sebogenic Hypothesis
Hair follicles evolved from oil glands, with hair aiding secretion transport.

Male hormones are important for hair and oil gland development and can cause conditions like excessive hair growth and acne.
research PPAR-γ Agonists and Their Role in Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
PPAR-γ helps control skin oil glands and inflammation, and its disruption can cause hair loss diseases.
research TNF-Inhibitor Associated Psoriatic Alopecia: Diagnostic Utility of Sebaceous Lobule Atrophy
Shrinking of oil glands in the skin is a key sign of hair loss linked to TNF inhibitor drugs and may improve if the treatment is stopped.
research Androgenic Effect of Testosterone and Its Metabolites in Relation to Their Biotransformation in the Skin
Testosterone and some of its forms can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in skin.
