research Identification of the sulfotransferase iso-enzyme primarily responsible for the bio-activation of topical minoxidil.
This abstract reports that topical minoxidil is currently the only FDA-approved treatment for pattern hair loss in both men and women.
research 1316 Aqueous extract of Mentha suaveolens induces Nrf-2 activation and expression of antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes in human keratinocyte HaCaT
This study found that Mentha suaveolens aqueous extract activated Nrf-2 and increased detoxifying enzyme expression in keratinocytes, providing protection against oxidative stress without cytotoxicity.
research 219 STAT5 activation in the dermal papilla is important for hair follicle growth phase induction, hair follicle regeneration and wound healing
This research reported that STAT5 activation in the dermal papilla plays a crucial role in triggering anagen entry during post-developmental hair follicle cycling.
research Life threatening macrophage activation syndrome as the initial presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus: A case report and review of the literature
This case report describes a rare instance where a young woman initially presented with macrophage activation syndrome as the first sign of systemic lupus erythematosus, and ultimately experienced multiorgan failure and death.

5 / 733 resultscommunity I literally can’t find any evidence of sulfotransferase being upregulated by microneedling or retinoids like tretinoin
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 Oral minoxidil or topical with tretinoin?
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of oral minoxidil versus topical minoxidil with tretinoin for hair regrowth, with some users suggesting oral minoxidil might be more effective for non-responders to topical treatments. Concerns about side effects and the role of enzymes in activating minoxidil are also mentioned.
community Topical Finasteride Doesn't Directly Reduce 5ar Enzyme on Scalp
Topical Finasteride doesn't directly reduce 5ar enzyme on scalp and has the same mechanism as oral, needing to go through the liver. Users debate the accuracy of this information and discuss various studies and experiences.
community Increasing activity of the sult1a1 enzyme via alkalizing agent and tretinoin for better response to topical minoxidil
Increasing the sult1a1 enzyme on the scalp may improve response to topical minoxidil. The user suggests using a baking soda solution, DMSO, and tretinoin to enhance enzyme activity and minoxidil effectiveness.
community Cell senescence-targeted treatment for hair loss, has anyone tried any products/enzymes etc. that use this theory
DHT causes hair loss by driving cells into senescence, and a polyphenol in black chokeberry may reverse this. A product using this theory is being considered for use alongside finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling.

6 / 801 results- Want to stop hormonal hair loss without touching your hormone levels? Procapil could block the enzyme doing the damage. Procapil's supplier describes it as inhibiting 5-alpha reductase at the scalp without changing hormone levels, but the published support is cell and animal work plus one small human study of a caffeine-plus-Procapil formula. It is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss treatment, and no trial has compared it with finasteride or minoxidil.
