    GlossaryMetabolic Pathways

    series of chemical reactions converting molecules within cells

    Metabolic pathways are a series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell that lead to the conversion of one or more substrates into specific products. These pathways are crucial for maintaining cellular function, as they manage the energy and resources needed for growth, reproduction, and maintenance. For example, the glycolysis pathway breaks down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP.

      community How likely do you think it is for PP405 to come out?

      in Research/Science  21 upvotes 1 month ago
      PP405 is a potential new hair loss treatment that works through metabolic pathways rather than hormonal ones, with an estimated market release between late 2027 and 2029. Current alternatives to finasteride include minoxidil, pyralutamide, fluridil, and RU58841, with hair transplants also being a viable option.

      DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.

      community Finasteride does deplete important nuero-active steroids

      in Research/Science  9 upvotes 2 years ago
      Finasteride can reduce neuroactive steroids, causing side effects like depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction. Some users experience persistent symptoms after stopping finasteride, while others use alternative treatments like topical solutions.
