Adipose tissue acts as an endocrine organ affecting metabolism, skin, and stress response.
research Human Macrophages Preferentially Infiltrate the Superficial Adipose Tissue
Human body's immune cells are more common in the layer of fat just beneath the skin than in deeper fat layers.
research Serum Clusterin Level in with Post Adolescent Acne
Serum clusterin may play a key role in the inflammation and immune response in post-adolescent acne.
research Acanthosis nigricans, insulin resistance and cutaneous virilism
Patients with acanthosis nigricans often have insulin resistance and signs of increased male hormones, but treatment targeting these male hormones is generally ineffective.
research Decision letter: Human biallelic MFN2 mutations induce mitochondrial dysfunction, upper body adipose hyperplasia, and suppression of leptin expression
MFN2 mutations cause mitochondrial problems, unusual fat distribution, and low leptin despite high body fat.
research Nuclear and cytosol Androgen Receptor in Androgen Dependent Dermatoses in Female Patients
Nuclear AR levels give better insight into hormone effects in skin conditions.
research Acanthosis nigricans and the metabolic syndrome
Acanthosis nigricans is a skin condition that may indicate a higher risk for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, and more research is needed to understand and treat it.
research Cellular retinol‐binding protein‐1 expression increases with increasing clinical severity of alopecia areata

research Endocrinology
The document concludes that inflammation markers can be used in diabetes, vitamin D3 affects immune pathways, hyperthyroidism changes hormone levels, androgen levels help diagnose Adrenocortical Carcinoma, erectile dysfunction is linked to diabetes, hypogonadism is common in HIV-infected males, and hormones can be biomarkers for various conditions.
research The presence of insulin resistance and comparison of various insulin sensivity indices in women with androgenetic alopecia.
Women with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) are more insulin resistant than healthy women, with various insulin sensitivity indices being higher in the AGA group. An oral glucose tolerance test is suggested for women with AGA.
research DERMAL ADIPOSE TISSUE IN HAIR FOLLICLE CYCLING: POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS IN ALOPECIA?
Fat cells near hair follicles may affect hair growth and could help treat baldness.
research Loss of adipocyte phospholipase gene PLAAT3 causes lipodystrophy and insulin resistance due to inactivated arachidonic acid-mediated PPARγ signaling
Not having the gene PLAAT3 leads to fat loss, high insulin resistance, and abnormal fat levels in the blood due to a disruption in fat cell development and function.
research Serum level of Alarin in Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia
Higher Alarin levels may predict androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome.
research Lipin 1 Gene Polymorphisms in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Certain gene variations might help protect against insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in people with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research C‐reactive protein promotes adhesion of monocytes to endothelial cells via NADPH oxidase‐mediated oxidative stress
C-reactive protein helps monocytes stick to blood vessel cells by causing oxidative stress.
research Is 3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide a diagnostic marker in women with androgenic manifestations?
3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide is not a useful marker for androgen excess but may help monitor certain treatments.

People with psoriasis have higher levels of Apelin-13 in their blood than healthy people.
research Circulating and/or cutaneous irisin resistance: A novel link among androgenetic alopecia, comorbid metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risks
Androgenetic alopecia is linked to higher cardiovascular and metabolic risks, possibly due to irisin resistance.
