GlossaryCYP17A1

enzyme crucial for steroid hormone production

CYP17A1, also known as Cytochrome P450 17A1, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the production of steroid hormones. It is involved in the conversion of pregnenolone and progesterone into their 17-alpha-hydroxylated products, which are precursors for androgens and estrogens. This enzyme is essential for the synthesis of hormones that regulate various bodily functions, including metabolism, immune response, and sexual development.

The conversation is about hair loss treatments, specifically a stack including topical Ashwagandha, Copper Peptide, Gotu Kola, Ketoconazole, and PDA. One user found Topical and Sub-Q GHK-CU effective.

community Is Keto shampoo 2% even worth starting?

in Ketoconazole 45 upvotes 3 months ago

Ketoconazole shampoo is primarily for scalp health and reducing inflammation, not hair regrowth. Combining ketoconazole with finasteride can yield similar results to using minoxidil and finasteride together.
