research Marked Reduction of the Number and Individual Volume of Sebaceous Glands in Psoriatic Lesions
Psoriasis lesions have fewer and smaller oil glands, which might affect the condition's development.
research Ectopic Sebaceous Glands in the Hair Follicle Matrix: Case Reports and Literature Review of This Embryogenic Anomaly
The cause and importance of misplaced oil glands in the hair follicle are not well understood.
research Increased Androgen Binding Capacity in Sebaceous Glands in Scalp of Male-Pattern Baldness
Men with male-pattern baldness have more androgen receptors in their scalp's oil glands, which may contribute to hair loss.
research Identification of Anabolic Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators with Reduced Activities in Reproductive Tissues and Sebaceous Glands
Two new compounds were found to build bone and muscle without affecting reproductive organs and skin oil glands.
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 Effects of AiQingHua Oil on Microcirculation Disturbance and Alopecia in Mice Models
AiQingHua oil improves blood flow and promotes hair growth in mice.
research Phylogeny of the Hair Follicle: The Sebogenic Hypothesis
Hair follicles evolved from oil glands, with hair aiding secretion transport.
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 Epithelially Derived MPZL3 Negatively Regulates Murine and Human Sebaceous Gland Size and Sebocyte Proliferation
MPZL3 protein helps control the size of oil glands and the growth of oil-producing cells in both mice and humans.
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 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 Sebaceous Gland Loss and Inflammation in Scarring Alopecia: A Potential Role in Pathogenesis
Loss of oil glands and inflammation might contribute to the development of scarring hair loss.
research Effects of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids on the Pilosebaceous Unit
Anabolic-androgenic steroids can cause skin issues like acne and oily skin by enlarging oil glands and changing skin oils.
research Morphological and Morphometric Study of the Androgenetic Alopecic Scalp Using Two- and Three-Dimensional Analysis Comparing Regional Differences
The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.
research A Morphometric and Histologic Study of the Scalp in Psoriasis: Paradoxical Sebaceous Gland Atrophy and Decreased Hair Shaft Diameters Without Alopecia
Psoriasis on the scalp causes smaller oil glands and thinner hair but doesn't lead to hair loss.
research Folliculosebaceous Cystic Hamartoma With Spindle Cell Lipomatous And Neural Components
A woman had a unique skin growth with hair follicle, oil glands, fat cells, spindle cells, and nerve fibers.
research Loss of Epidermal PLCγ1 Induced Sebaceous Gland Hyperplasia and Sparse Hair
Removing PLCg1 from skin cells caused thicker oil glands and less hair in mice.
research The Effect of Intracutaneous Injections of Micronized Crystalline Suspensions of Nandrolone Phenylpropionate in the Skin of Female Hairless Hamsters
Nandrolone phenylpropionate injections thickened the skin and enlarged oil glands in female hairless hamsters.
research Aberrant Wnt Signaling Induces Comedo-Like Changes in the Murine Upper Hair Follicle
Overactive Wnt signaling in mouse skin stem cells causes acne-like cysts and shrinking oil glands, which some treatments can partially fix.
research Interrogating the Gut-Skin Axis for Acne and Sebaceous Gland Health: A Case Study of Nicotinic Acid
Taking nicotinic acid supplements might help with acne by affecting the skin's oil glands, but high doses are needed.
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 Morphogenesis and Renewal of Hair Follicles from Adult Multipotent Stem Cells
Adult mouse skin contains stem cells that can create new hair, skin, and oil glands.
research Smad7-Induced Beta-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research A Hypothetical Pathogenesis Model for Androgenic Alopecia: Clarifying the Dihydrotestosterone Paradox and Rate-Limiting Recovery Factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
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 Regional Difference in Sebum Production by Androgen Susceptibility in Human Facial Skin
The T-zone on the face has more androgen receptors and produces more oil than the U-zone.
research An Updated Review of the Sebaceous Gland and Its Role in Health and Diseases Part 1: Embryology, Evolution, Structure, and Function of Sebaceous Glands
