    GlossaryEnzyme Activity (Enzyme Function)

    rate at which an enzyme catalyzes a chemical reaction

    Enzyme activity, also known as enzymatic activity or catalytic activity, refers to the rate at which an enzyme catalyzes a chemical reaction. It is a measure of how efficiently an enzyme converts substrates into products, often influenced by factors such as temperature, pH, and the presence of inhibitors or activators. This concept is crucial in understanding various biological processes, including those related to hair growth and alopecia, where specific enzymes play roles in follicle health and function.

      Dutasteride is associated with increased blood glucose, HbA1c, LDL cholesterol, and liver enzyme activity, potentially leading to diabetes, NAFLD, and liver metabolism changes. The conversation highlights concerns about these adverse effects and calls for more studies, including on finasteride.

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

      in Research/Science  2445 upvotes 4 years ago
      The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.
