GlossaryAdipose Tissue

connective tissue that stores energy as body fat

Adipose tissue, commonly known as body fat, is a type of connective tissue that stores energy in the form of fat. It also serves as insulation to help regulate body temperature and provides cushioning to protect internal organs. This tissue is composed of adipocytes, which are specialized cells that store lipids, and it plays a crucial role in metabolic processes and hormone production.

community Adipose tissue layer and stem cells.

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 5 months ago

Adipose fat cells and stem cells may help treat hair loss by restoring the scalp's thickness. Treatments like NanoFat injections and Botox are discussed for their potential to promote hair growth.

community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects

in Research/Science 29 upvotes 1 year ago

Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.

community The Big Fat Layer II

in Research/Science 26 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss treatment should target dermal white adipose tissue (DWAT) to restore hair follicles. Potential remedies include tocopherol (vitamin E), botox, rosiglitazone, niacin, kojyl cinnamate esters, and ADP355.

community Any way to reverse scalp atrophy?

in Scalp Massage 1 upvotes 5 years ago

The conversation is about improving scalp appearance by regaining adipose tissue and making the skin look better using scalp massages and a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and urea. The user is not trying to regrow hair but wants to improve the scalp's thickness and appearance.

community Any experience with stem cell hair transplants?

in Transplants 25 upvotes 2 years ago

Stem cell hair transplants use stem cells from fat tissue to reactivate inactive hair follicles, but results are inconsistent and not widely shared. Traditional treatments like finasteride and minoxidil often show better results.
