Research
210-240 / 1000+ results research Retinol Esterification by DGAT1 Is Essential for Retinoid Homeostasis in Murine Skin
DGAT1 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and hair by regulating retinoid levels.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
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.
research Obesity resistance of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase-deficient (scd1 -/-) mouse results from disruption of the epidermal lipid barrier and adaptive thermoregulation
Deleting the scd1 gene in mice prevents obesity by disrupting skin lipids and improving heat regulation.
research 892 Behavior of the two circulating androgens testosterone and DHEA and their main intracellular metabolites in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Testosterone affects androgen receptors and lipid storage in cells, while DHEA does not convert to testosterone or affect these receptors in the same way.
research Lead-revealed lipid organization in human hair
Lead can help reveal and organize lipids in human hair.
research Penetration of oils into hair
Plant oils like coconut, camellia, and safflower can penetrate hair, making it stronger and softer.
