research Genetic analysis of the role of androgen metabolism in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer
Certain genetic markers can indicate a person's risk of developing prostate cancer.
research Steroid Sulfatase Deficiency and Androgen Activation Before and After Puberty
In STSD patients, the body compensates for low androgen levels by increasing another enzyme's activity.
research Progress in the design of ascorbic acid derivative-mediated drug delivery
Ascorbic acid derivatives improve drug delivery systems.
research 1385 Characterizing the expression of metabolic markers in alopecia areata
The research identified unique metabolic activities in immune cells associated with hair loss in Alopecia Areata.

research Metabolic study of androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione in horses using liquid chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry
The study found that urine metabolites M1b or M4 are the best indicators of ATD use in horses, with detection possible up to 77 hours in urine and 28 hours in blood.
research Roles of Type 10 17beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in Intracrinology and Metabolism of Isoleucine and Fatty Acids
This enzyme helps metabolize fatty acids and isoleucine, and could be key in treating neurological diseases and certain cancers.
research Untargeted metabolomics analysis of plasma metabolic characteristics in patients with acne and insulin resistance
Patients with acne and insulin resistance have different blood metabolites compared to those with only acne, which could help in diagnosis and treatment.
research The effect of dietary modulation of sulfur amino acids on cystathionine β synthase–deficient mice
Changing the diet of mice lacking the enzyme CBS can affect symptoms related to the genetic condition.
research Colorimetric assay for γ-glutamyl transpeptidase
The document concludes that measuring γ-glutamyl transpeptidase activity is more accurate with a higher substrate concentration and using diluted acetic acid to stop the reaction.
research Astilbin Activates the Reactive Oxidative Species/PPARγ Pathway to Suppress Effector CD4+ T Cell Activities via Direct Binding With Cytochrome P450 1B1
Astilbin can potentially calm overactive immune responses, like in Type 1 Diabetes, by suppressing certain cell activities and reducing inflammation.
research Preliminary pharmacokinetics and metabolism of novel non-steroidal antiandrogens in the rat: Relation of their systemic activity to the formation of a common metabolite
Two non-steroidal antiandrogens, RU 58841 and RU 56187, form a common metabolite at different rates, which may influence their effects; RU 56187 could be used for prostate cancer treatment and RU 58841 for acne treatment.
