Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin

research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin

18 citations , October 2021 in “Frontiers in Physiology”

Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.

community Injecting stomach fat into the scalp could cure baldness in just six months

in Update 114 upvotes 7 years ago

A potential treatment for hair loss that involves injecting fat into the scalp; the role of testosterone and estrogen in thinning fat tissue under the skin; research on using lard to treat androgenic alopecia, as well as PRP + ACELL/amniotic stem cell treatments; and ongoing clinical trials by doctors involved in the study.

community Why balding gets worse in every generation?

in Chat 81 upvotes 2 years ago

Balding seems to worsen with each generation, possibly due to stress, diet, and environmental factors. The user started treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.

in Is this regrowth? 325 upvotes 2 years ago

A man who claimed to have regrown his hair using stem cell treatment, sparking a debate about its effectiveness and cost. Some users suggested he might be using other treatments or substances, while others shared their own experiences with stem cell therapy for hair loss.

community Yes your lifestyle and diet has its role in hair loss.

in Chat 296 upvotes 11 months ago

Diet and lifestyle changes can reduce hair shedding but won't regrow hair lost to genetic male pattern baldness. Treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are necessary for significant hair regrowth.

community Intermittent fasting reduces hair growth?!? :(

in Research/Science 34 upvotes 1 year ago

Intermittent fasting may inhibit hair growth by triggering a stress response that affects hair-follicle stem cells. Some users believe genetics and DHT play a larger role in hair loss, and treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are mentioned as ineffective for some.
