GlossaryDyslipidemia

abnormal blood lipid levels, often leading to cardiovascular risk

Dyslipidemia, also known as hyperlipidemia or lipid disorder, refers to an abnormal amount of lipids (e.g., cholesterol and/or fat) in the blood. This condition can lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack and stroke, due to the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries. It is often diagnosed through blood tests and can be managed with lifestyle changes, medications, or a combination of both.

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
