Researchers found two enzymes in Avicennia marina that help produce maslinic acid and corosolic acid, which have medicinal benefits.
research Knowledge, Prevalence, and Consequences of Dietary Supplements Intake among Iranian Bodybuilders
Iranian bodybuilders often use supplements like vitamins C, D, and whey protein, but they experience side effects like skin rashes and hair loss.
research Zinc‐Coordinated Trienzyme Nanogel Cascade Therapy for Accelerated Post‐Pancreatectomy Cutaneous Wound Healing
The zinc-coordinated nanogel therapy speeds up wound healing after pancreas surgery by balancing metabolism and fighting bacteria.
research Oral isotretinoin for acne
Oral isotretinoin may slightly improve acne but increases the risk of side effects like dry lips and skin; more research is needed to understand its full risks and benefits.
research The Anti-Muscle Atrophy Effects of Ishige sinicola in LPS-Induced C2C12 Myotubes through Its Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Actions
Ishige sinicola extract may help prevent muscle atrophy through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5alpha-reductase activity in human gingival fibroblasts in response to minocycline
Finasteride helps treat hair loss by blocking enzyme activity.

Liposomes and iontophoresis effectively deliver protective enzymes into the skin against UV damage.
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 Determination of rat 5α-reductase type 1 isozyme activity and its inhibition by novel steroidal oxazolines
New steroidal compounds moderately block an enzyme related to testosterone conversion, less effectively than finasteride.
research Expression of mRNA for androgen receptor, 5alpha-reductase and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human dermal papilla cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
research Different Levels of 5α-Reductase Type I and II, Aromatase, and Androgen Receptor in Hair Follicles of Women and Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
People with hair loss have more androgen receptors and enzymes in certain follicles, with men and women showing different patterns.
research Finasteride Inhibits Human Prostate Cancer Cell Invasion through MMP2 and MMP9 Downregulation
Finasteride may reduce prostate cancer spread by lowering certain enzyme levels.
research Hair loss and herbs for treatment
Herbs can potentially treat hair loss by inhibiting a key enzyme and promoting hair growth, and deficiencies in zinc, biotin, and iron are linked to hair loss.
research Structures of three polycystic kidney disease-like domains fromClostridium histolyticumcollagenases ColG and ColH
The study concludes that certain domains in Clostridium histolyticum enzymes are structurally unique, bind calcium to become more stable, and play distinct roles in breaking down collagen, with potential applications in medicine and drug delivery.
research Study of some pharmacotechnological, physico-chemical and pharmacognostic properties of common fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) fruit
Common fennel fruits can be effectively used to make medicines for better digestion.
research Androgenetic alopecia and microinflammation
Inflammation may be linked to hair loss, and targeting specific enzymes could help treat it.
research Finasteride: A slow-binding 5.alpha.-reductase inhibitor
Finasteride slowly binds to 5-alpha-reductase, affecting enzyme stability and inhibitor potency.
research Is the “Comb Over” Dying? A Mouse Model for Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia)
The mouse model suggests male pattern baldness may be due to an enzyme increasing DHT and higher androgen receptor levels in hair follicles.
research Development and evaluation of antisense shRNA-encoding plasmid loaded solid lipid nanoparticles against 5-α reductase activity
The new particle system could be a promising treatment for diseases related to the 5-α reductase enzyme.
research Changes in serum free testosterone, sleep patterns, and 5‐alpha‐reductase type I activity influence changes in sebum excretion in female subjects
