Did you mean Lactate Dehydrogenase Enzyme?

GlossaryLactate Dehydrogenase

enzyme that converts lactate to pyruvate in cells

Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in converting sugar into energy for cells, particularly during anaerobic respiration when oxygen levels are low. Elevated levels of LDH in the blood can indicate tissue damage or disease, as it is released from cells into the bloodstream when they are damaged.

community Debunk the debunk ? - Not sure but this study still exists ...

in Research/Science 25 upvotes 4 years ago

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically mentioning Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It highlights a study suggesting that sulforaphane may reduce DHT levels and promote hair growth in mice.

community How ET-02 Works. Also no proof that it's better than Minoxidil. At least for now.

in Research/Science 44 upvotes 1 year ago

ET-02, a PAI-1 inhibitor, is not proven to be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Other treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, PP405, and AMP-303 are also discussed, focusing on cellular senescence and oxidative stress.

community Why I deleted my YouTube channel Part I

in Update 118 upvotes 4 years ago

A YouTuber named Kevin, also known as Rider_Of_Roach, who deleted his YouTube channel due to personal attacks and controversy surrounding his views on hair loss treatments. He advocated for FDA-approved treatments like finasteride and minoxidil but faced backlash from those who disagreed with him. The conversation also discusses his past trolling behavior and a lawsuit he filed against a website that published false information about him. Despite some disagreements, many viewers appreciated his research-based content and hope to see him return in the future.

community DHT levels after 4 weeks of Fina and 8 weeks of Fina + 4 weeks of Duta

in Update 38 upvotes 6 years ago

The user reported early stage diffuse hair thinning and increased DHT levels after 4 weeks on Finasteride and 8 weeks on Finasteride plus 4 weeks on Dutasteride, despite the medications being authentic and stored properly. They are considering increasing their Dutasteride dosage due to the lack of side effects and are unsure if the treatment is helping their hair.

community UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!

in Research/Science 446 upvotes 4 years ago

Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
