research The activin binding proteins follistatin and follistatin-related protein are differentially regulated in vitro and during cutaneous wound repair
FLRG and follistatin have different roles in wound healing.
research Characterization of a Partial cDNA for Lysyl Hydroxylase from Human Skin Fibroblasts; Lysyl Hydroxylase mRNAs Are Regulated Differently by Minoxidil Derivatives and Hydralazine
Minoxidil decreases LH expression, while hydralazine has mixed effects on prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase activities.
research Oxidative Activity of the Type 2 Isozyme of 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) Predominates in Human Sebaceous Glands
The enzyme 17β-HSD type 2 mainly performs oxidation in human sebaceous glands, which may help protect against acne.
