Orlistat might block the body's ability to absorb thyroid medication.
research Inhibition of TNF-α-Induced Collagen Degradation and Oxidative Damage by Centipeda minima and Brevilin A in Human Dermal Fibroblasts
Centipeda minima and brevilin A protect skin cells from damage and aging.
research Absence of chemotherapy-induced alopecia with paclitaxel in a case of hypothyroidism: case report
A woman with low thyroid function did not lose her hair during chemotherapy, possibly because her hair follicles were less affected by the treatment.
research Genetic Defects in Human Pericentrin Are Associated With Severe Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
People with PCNT mutations often develop severe insulin resistance and early-onset diabetes during childhood or adolescence.
research Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Based In Vitro Metabolic Profiling Reveals Altered Enzyme Expressions in Eicosanoid Metabolism
The method reliably profiles eicosanoids and shows epitestosterone reduces their levels, similar to common anti-inflammatory drugs.
research Cushing's syndrome due to pharmacological interaction in a cystic fibrosis patient
A cystic fibrosis patient developed Cushing's syndrome from a drug interaction between itraconazole and budesonide, which improved after stopping the medications.
research Transcriptome-guided development of a fibrosis-reversal compound reduces skin scarring and allows regeneration via mitochondrial uncoupling
FR-1 reduces skin scarring and promotes healing without harmful effects.
research Easing The Teasing The Effects Of Appearance-related Feedback On Body Image Disturbance, Eating Pathology, Body Change Behaviors, And Self-objectification
Negative comments about appearance harm men's body image and eating habits, while positive comments can help but may lead to more focus on changing appearance.
research TGFβ signaling regulates lipogenesis in human sebaceous glands cells
TGFβ signaling prevents sebaceous gland cells from producing fats.
research Androgen receptor transactivity is potentiated by TGF-β1 through Smad3 but checked by its coactivator Hic-5/ARA55 in balding dermal papilla cells
TGF-β1 increases androgen receptor activity in hair loss, but Hic-5/ARA55 can counter this effect.
