Skin enzymes convert topical drugs into active forms, affecting drug effectiveness and safety.
research Steroid 5α-reductases and 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases: key enzymes in androgen metabolism
Key enzymes control androgen levels, affecting hormone activity and potential treatments.
research Disruption of androgen metabolism, regulation and effects : involvement of steroidogenic enzymes
Anabolic steroids and inflammation can disrupt androgen metabolism, potentially causing health issues.
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 Circulating testosterone and feather-gene expression of receptors and metabolic enzymes in relation to melanin-based colouration in the barn owl
Barn owls with smaller black spots have higher testosterone levels, which might be due to genetic effects on hormone regulation rather than hormone effects on coloration.

Dutasteride is associated with increased blood glucose, HbA1c, LDL cholesterol, and liver enzyme activity, potentially leading to diabetes, NAFLD, and liver metabolism changes. The conversation highlights concerns about these adverse effects and calls for more studies, including on finasteride.
community How many of you guys have taken accutane?
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.
community Increasing activity of the sult1a1 enzyme via alkalizing agent and tretinoin for better response to topical minoxidil
Increasing the sult1a1 enzyme on the scalp may improve response to topical minoxidil. The user suggests using a baking soda solution, DMSO, and tretinoin to enhance enzyme activity and minoxidil effectiveness.
community You may not have the enzyme for topical minoxidil to work - a rarely talked about impact
Some people may not respond to topical minoxidil due to low SULT1A1 enzyme activity, but oral minoxidil can be effective. Tretinoin may enhance minoxidil's effectiveness, and some users prefer oral minoxidil despite side effects.
community Fin/Dut and Metabolism Speeds…
A user speculates that a fast metabolism might affect the effectiveness of dutasteride for hair loss. Another user argues that drug response is unrelated to metabolism speed.
