Glossary Subcutaneous Tissue

layer of fat and connective tissue beneath the skin

Subcutaneous tissue, also known as the hypodermis, is the layer of tissue directly beneath the skin (dermis). It consists primarily of fat and connective tissue, providing insulation, energy storage, and cushioning to protect underlying muscles and bones. This layer also contains larger blood vessels and nerves, playing a crucial role in thermoregulation and sensation.

Expression of 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 in Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissues of Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Is Associated with Adiposity

research Expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with adiposity

18 citations , December 2010 in “The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology”

The authors concluded that increased expression of the HSD11B1 gene in adipose tissue correlates with obesity markers and predicts insulin resistance, but this association is independent of polycystic ovary syndrome when adiposity is controlled for.

research Evidence for Masculinization of Adipokine Gene Expression in Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue of Obese Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

58 citations , January 2013 in “The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism”

This study suggests that sexual dimorphism in adipose tissue functions may be linked to androgen levels, as women with PCOS demonstrated a more masculine adipokine expression pattern.

research Tracing the Change and Contribution of Subcutaneous Adipose to Skin Expansion Using a Luciferase-Transgenic Fat Transplantation Model

4 citations , May 2023 in “Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery”

This study found that transplanting adipose tissue into the rat dorsum supported long-term skin expansion by enhancing thickness, vascularization, and cell proliferation, with adipose-derived cells actively contributing to skin regeneration and growth factor expression.

community Subcutaneous Scalp fat and Hair loss? Interested in others annecdotal experience or knowledge.

6 upvotes 3 years ago

Subcutaneous scalp fat may be linked to hair loss, with theories suggesting that fat loss can lead to reduced blood flow and increased DHT activity, contributing to hair loss. Treatments discussed include PRP/PRF injections and fat transfer to improve scalp thickness and blood flow.

community Another molecular pathway to promote scarless healing and regenerate hair follicles

14 upvotes 8 months ago

Carnosic acid in rosemary extract may enhance skin repair and promote hair follicle regeneration. It could be used alone or with verteporfin for scarless healing after dermal wounding.

community 6 months and some weeks on Fin x Min x Vitamin D Pill. Thought I made progress in August-October was there a shed maybe? Dates in screenshots!

in Is this regrowth? 22 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses hair regrowth progress using finasteride, minoxidil, and vitamin D, with some users experiencing shedding and others seeing improvement. Additional treatments like dutasteride, topical solutions, and lifestyle changes are also mentioned.

community Is it possible to create an estrogen mesotherapy/topical that doesn't go systemic?

7 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses the potential of using topical estrogen treatments for hair loss without systemic absorption, highlighting challenges and possible solutions like using estriol. It also mentions other treatments like topical finasteride, microneedling, and scalp massage, while noting the limitations and side effects of current options.

community The Real Reason For Hair Loss?

8 months ago

Hair loss is linked to scalp fibrosis and tension, which result from chronic mechanical stress and androgenic signaling. Treatments include blocking androgens with finasteride, promoting hair growth with topical minoxidil, and improving scalp mobility through exercises.
