research The fatty acids and the skin: a focus on the n-6 family of unsaturated fatty acids
Linoleic acid is essential for healthy skin, and while deficiency is rare in Western societies, it can cause dry, scaly skin and hair loss.
research Autophagy protects murine preputial glands against premature aging, and controls their sebum phospholipid and pheromone profile
Autophagy helps delay aging in mouse glands, maintains fat balance, and controls scent production.
research Lipid droplets and associated proteins in sebocytes
Sebum from sebocytes is important for skin health and linked to conditions like acne and hair loss.
research Molecular interactions of natural and synthetic steroids in female hamsters’ flank organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
research Effects of dietary supplementation with taurine on production performance of Angora rabbits
Adding 0.2% taurine to Angora rabbits' diet improves wool production and overall health.
research Beyond acne: Current aspects of sebaceous gland biology and function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research Homeostatic Control of Sebaceous Glands by Innate Lymphoid Cells Regulates Commensal Bacteria Equilibrium
Innate lymphoid cells help control skin bacteria by regulating sebaceous glands.

Menopause-related skin changes may increase fungal infections and inflammation.
research Skin Barrier Dysfunction in Acne Vulgaris: Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Approaches
Improving skin barrier function is crucial for better acne treatment.
research TREATMENT OF ACNE VULGARIS, OR EVERYTHING WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ISOTRETINOIN
Isotretinoin effectively treats severe acne but has significant side effects requiring careful monitoring.
research Evaluation of the Effect of Plant Mixture Ethanol Extracts Containing Biota orientalis L. Extract on Suppression of Sebum in Cultured Sebocytes and on Stimulation of Growth of Keratinocytes Co-cultured with Hair Papilla Cells
The extract reduced sebum production and promoted hair growth.
research Ligand‐independent epidermal growth factor receptor hyperactivation increases sebaceous gland size and sebum secretion in mice
EGFR hyperactivation increases sebaceous gland size and sebum production in mice.
research Inhibition of lipogenesis and sebum secretion for Lotus corniculatus seed extract in vitro and in vivo
Lotus corniculatus seed extract reduces oily skin by decreasing sebum production.
research The Effect of 5α-Reductase Inhibition With Dutasteride and Finasteride on Bone Mineral Density, Serum Lipoproteins, Hemoglobin, Prostate Specific Antigen and Sexual Function in Healthy Young Men
Dutasteride and finasteride do not significantly affect bone density, blood fats, or blood production, but slightly lower PSA levels and minimally impact sexual function in healthy young men.
research 896 Androgens activate lipogenesis through an AKT-independent mTOR pathway stimulation and a limitation of autophagy in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) increases oil production in skin cells by activating mTOR, and mTOR inhibitors can reduce this effect.
research Expression of steroidogenic enzymes in human sebaceous glands
Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.
research 8 Hair follicles and associated glands as androgen targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research 694 Retinoid induced changes in the fatty acid profile of sebum and its effect on bacterial growth
Retinoids change the fat content in skin oil and reduce bacteria growth, helping to treat acne.
research Vitamin D, Lipid Metabolism and Prostate Cancer
Vitamin D may help regulate cholesterol and influence prostate cancer development.
research The role of androgens in hormone replacement therapy
Androgen therapy can help with symptoms like low libido in women, but more research is needed to understand its long-term safety and effects on health.
research Current Perspectives on the Physiological Activities of Fermented Soybean-Derived Cheonggukjang
