Drug metabolism affects how long a drug works, its interactions, activation, and toxicity, and is influenced by genetics, diet, illness, and other drugs.
research The effect of topical minoxidil treatment on follicular sulfotransferase enzymatic activity.
Topical minoxidil does not change the activity of hair follicle enzymes that metabolize it.
research [Drug induced alopecia].
Some medications can cause reversible hair loss by affecting hair growth cycles.
research The hair growth promoting effect of Sophora flavescens extract and its molecular regulation
Sophora flavescens extract may help hair grow by affecting growth factors and blocking a hair-related enzyme.
research Estradiol protects hair cells from cisplatin-induced ototoxicity via Nrf2 activation
Estradiol may protect ear cells from hearing loss caused by a chemotherapy drug by activating a protective pathway.

research Luncheon Symposium (LS) : Update on the efficacy and safety of dutasteride in the management of androgenetic alopecia
Dutasteride is effective and safe for treating common hair loss, and it's more potent than finasteride, leading to better hair growth and thickness.
research Genetic Variation in CYP2B6, UGT1A4 and Sulfotransferases Is Associated with Disease-Free Survival in South African Breast Cancer Patients Treated with Tamoxifen
Genetic differences affect breast cancer treatment success with tamoxifen in South African patients.
research Increased frequency of the DI genotype of the angiotensin-I converting enzyme and association of the II genotype with insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome
The study suggests certain ACE gene variations are more common in women with PCOS and may be linked to increased insulin resistance.
research Phase II trial of paclitaxel poliglumex (CT-2103) in pre- and post-menopausal women on hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Further testing of paclitaxel poliglumex for this cancer treatment is not justified.
research Rat steroid 5α-reductase kinetic characteristics: Extreme pH-dependency of the type II isozyme in prostate and epididymis homogenates
The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.
research 575 An extract of Leontopodium alpinum prolongs anagen phase in human hair follicles ex vivo
Leontopodium alpinum extract may help reduce hair shedding by keeping hair in the growth phase longer.
research Pharmacogenetic analysis of human steroid 5α reductase type II: comparison of finasteride and dutasteride
Dutasteride is more efficient than finasteride, but individual results vary.
research Genetic analysis of 5 α reductase type 2 enzyme in relation to oxidative stress in cases of androgenetic alopecia in a sample of egyptian population
5α reductase type 2 enzyme mutation and oxidative stress may increase androgenetic alopecia risk in Egyptians.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research In Vitro Main Pathways of Steroid Action in Cultured Hair Follicle Cells: Vascular Approach
Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.
research Hair Growth Promoting Effect of 4HGF Encapsulated with PGA Nanoparticles (PGA-4HGF) by β-Catenin Activation and Its Related Cell Cycle Molecules
