GlossaryThermoregulation

process of maintaining stable internal body temperature

Thermoregulation is the process by which an organism maintains its internal body temperature within a certain range, even when the surrounding temperature is different. This involves physiological mechanisms like sweating, shivering, and altering blood flow to the skin, ensuring that the body's core temperature remains stable for optimal function.

community Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective

in Chat 213 upvotes 7 months ago

Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.

community Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens.

in Research/Science 2 upvotes 1 year ago

A method for treating androgenic alopecia using minoxidil, antiandrogens, exercise, and cold exposure to promote hair growth. Environmental factors and lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise, can improve treatment effectiveness.
