research The resistance mechanisms of bacteria against ciprofloxacin and new approaches for enhancing the efficacy of this antibiotic

238 citations , December 2022 in “Frontiers in Public Health”

This review discusses ciprofloxacin resistance mechanisms in bacteria and explores new approaches, such as combining it with other antibacterial agents, to enhance its effectiveness against resistant infections.

research Mechanisms Involved in the Relationship between Vitamin D and Insulin Resistance: Impact on Clinical Practice

37 citations , October 2021 in “Nutrients”

This study discusses the potential association between low vitamin D levels and insulin resistance, suggesting that vitamin D deficiency may contribute to disorders like obesity and diabetes, but emphasizes the need for further research to confirm these links.

research Recent advances in the molecular mechanisms causing primary generalized glucocorticoid resistance

15 citations , April 2016 in “Hormones”

This review summarizes the clinical features and molecular causes of Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance, highlighting new findings from the characterization of mutations in the NR3C1 gene, but reports no new experimental results.

research Mechanism of Targeting the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway against Chemotherapeutic Resistance in Multiple Myeloma

5 citations , June 2022 in “Journal of Oncology”

This study found that resistance to azithromycin in multiple myeloma cells was associated with activation of the Hedgehog signaling pathway and suggests that targeting this pathway could help improve drug resistance.

research Novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying generalized glucocorticoid resistance and hypersensitivity syndromes

15 citations , April 2017 in “Hormones”

This review discusses the roles of glucocorticoids and glucocorticoid receptors, and it explores potential genetic and non-genetic causes of glucocorticoid resistance or hypersensitivity syndromes, reporting no new clinical results.

community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia

36 upvotes 11 months ago

DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.

community Finasteride's impact on blood pressure - mechanism of action

4 upvotes 5 years ago

Finasteride may cause mild blood pressure-related side effects in less than 10% of users, unlike minoxidil, which has stronger effects. Alternatives like topical ketoconazole and dermarollers are suggested for those concerned about finasteride's side effects.

community Interesting new publication suggesting that MPB should be assessed as a early warning sign for type-2 diabetes.

15 upvotes 8 years ago

Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be an early warning sign for type 2 diabetes due to its association with insulin resistance. Treatments discussed include testosterone therapy and finasteride, which affects hormone levels related to hair loss and insulin sensitivity.

community Positive Hair Result in Patient using Tirzepatide

4 upvotes 1 year ago

A 57-year-old man with male pattern hair loss and insulin resistance experienced hair regrowth and weight loss after using tirzepatide, without other hair treatments. Dysregulated glucose metabolism is linked to hair loss, with tirzepatide potentially improving hair density by normalizing insulin resistance.

community Akkermansia improves testosterone-induced hair growth inhibition.

4 upvotes 2 years ago

Akkermansia bacteria can improve hair growth inhibited by testosterone, and metformin may increase Akkermansia, which could help with hair loss related to aging, insulin resistance, and inflammation.

learn Metformin

diabetes drug with anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and insulin-sensitizing properties

Can metformin improve scalp health in people with insulin resistance or PCOS? There is no controlled trial showing that metformin improves scalp hair. The PCOS studies most often cited measured unwanted body hair, not scalp density, and a published case report describes hair loss during metformin treatment; any use for hair would be off-label and a decision for a prescribing doctor.
