The enzyme PST is found in developing human kidneys and helps with detoxification and development.
research Serum level of vitamin D in patients with alopecia areata
Alopecia areata patients have lower vitamin D levels than healthy individuals.
research Serum Level of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) in Egyptians With Alopecia Areata and Its Relation to the Clinical Severity of the Disease
Higher MIF levels in alopecia areata patients suggest it could be a treatment target and disease predictor.
research In Vitro and In Vivo Regulation of SRD5A mRNA Expression of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Extract from Asparagus racemosus Willd. Root as Anti-Sebum and Pore-Minimizing Active Ingredients
Asparagus racemosus root extract reduced sebum and pore size in men but not in women.
research Serum anti-Müllerian hormone as a predictor of polycystic ovarian syndrome among women of reproductive age
High levels of anti-Müllerian hormone can indicate polycystic ovarian syndrome in women who can have babies.
research Biorevitalizing effect of a novel facial serum containing apple stem cell extract, pro‐collagen lipopeptide, creatine, and urea on skin aging signs
The serum improved skin aging signs by enhancing cell metabolism and reducing wrinkles.
research Steroid Sulfatase: Molecular Biology, Regulation, and Inhibition
The enzyme steroid sulfatase is linked to breast cancer and other conditions, and inhibitors are being developed for treatment.
research 5α-Reductase activity in the human hair follicle concentrates in the dermal papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
