A high-fat diet may weaken tongue structure by reducing certain protein genes.
research Induction of transforming growth factor-beta 1 by androgen is mediated by reactive oxygen species in hair follicle dermal papilla cells
Androgens increase a growth factor in hair cells by creating reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants might help treat hair loss.
research Cellular retinol‐binding protein‐1 expression increases with increasing clinical severity of alopecia areata
Higher CRBP1 levels are linked to more severe alopecia areata.
