Did you mean Lactate Dehydrogenase Enzyme?

GlossaryLactate Dehydrogenase

enzyme that converts lactate to pyruvate in cells

Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in converting sugar into energy for cells, particularly during anaerobic respiration when oxygen levels are low. Elevated levels of LDH in the blood can indicate tissue damage or disease, as it is released from cells into the bloodstream when they are damaged.

community Debunk the debunk ? - Not sure but this study still exists ...

in Research/Science 25 upvotes 4 years ago

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically mentioning Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It highlights a study suggesting that sulforaphane may reduce DHT levels and promote hair growth in mice.

community How ET-02 Works. Also no proof that it's better than Minoxidil. At least for now.

in Research/Science 46 upvotes 11 months ago

ET-02, a PAI-1 inhibitor, is not proven to be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Other treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, PP405, and AMP-303 are also discussed, focusing on cellular senescence and oxidative stress.

community 3α-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase community driven study, not anytime soon guys.

in Research/Science 105 upvotes 4 years ago

High cost of studying 3α-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in hair loss led to suggestions of crowdfunding for research. Users discussed using Procyanidin B2/melatonin topical treatment and tracking funds with blockchain.

community Bile Acid-Mediated DHT Dysregulation Hypothesis

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 1 year ago

Elevated bile acids can inhibit the enzyme AKR1C2, leading to increased DHT levels, which may accelerate hair loss in those predisposed to androgenetic alopecia. Treatments mentioned include topical minoxidil and finasteride.

community How many of you guys have taken accutane?

in Chat 8 upvotes 7 months ago

Accutane may accelerate hair loss in genetically predisposed individuals by affecting enzymes related to DHT metabolism. Some users report hair loss after taking Accutane, while others use treatments like finasteride and minoxidil to manage hair loss.
