    GlossaryGamma-Glutamyl Transferase (Gamma-GT)

    enzyme involved in amino acid transfer and liver function

    Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) is an enzyme found in various tissues throughout the body, with particularly high concentrations in the liver. It plays a crucial role in the metabolism of glutathione and the transfer of amino acids across cellular membranes. Elevated levels of GGT in the blood can indicate liver disease, bile duct problems, or excessive alcohol consumption.

      community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

      in Research  830 upvotes 1 year ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      community Has anyone here tried taking GLA supplements?

      in Treatment  1 upvotes 7 months ago
      GLA may help with hair loss due to its anti-inflammatory properties and 5ar enzyme inhibition. It's considered potentially more important than biotin, especially for those already using finasteride and dutasteride.
