Glossary Antioxidant Enzymes

proteins that protect cells by neutralizing harmful free radicals

Antioxidant enzymes are proteins in the body that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can harm cellular structures. These enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, neutralize free radicals by converting them into less harmful substances, thereby playing a crucial role in maintaining cellular health and preventing oxidative stress-related diseases.

community I literally can’t find any evidence of sulfotransferase being upregulated by microneedling or retinoids like tretinoin

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 1 year ago

Microneedling and tretinoin may enhance minoxidil absorption for hair loss, but evidence on their effectiveness is limited. Iron supplements and broccoli sprouts are suggested for enzyme activation, but their impact on hair is unclear.

community Dutasteride High Libido. How come we don't talk about this?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 210 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride and finasteride can affect libido differently, with some experiencing increased libido and others decreased libido or erectile dysfunction. Dutasteride may increase testosterone levels but can also cause side effects like liver enzyme changes, while topical finasteride may have fewer sexual side effects.

community Rejux-3x - the copper peptide combo that tressless overlooks.

1 upvotes 5 months ago

Rejuv-3X, a topical blend with GHK-Cu, AHK-Cu, and JXL-089, is used for hair loss, offering a targeted option without finasteride's side effects. The user plans to combine it with microneedling for enhanced results.

community Minoxidil Sulfate makes everyone a responder

258 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil sulfate is more effective than regular minoxidil, especially for those with low sulfotransferase levels or scalp sensitivity, but it is unstable unless delivered in a liposomal format. Combining minoxidil with tretinoin can enhance effectiveness, and stopping minoxidil use can lead to rapid hair loss.

community A less common type of hairloss case

5 upvotes 5 months ago

High-dose Lysine and Histidine supplements caused curly/kinky hair and shedding due to Elastin dysfunction. Minoxidil, white tea, and dark grape juice were mentioned as treatments to inhibit Elastase and mimic Lysyl Oxidase.
