research Value of Sulfotransferase Enzyme Assay in Predicting Minoxidil Response in Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia
This study evaluated the role of sulfotransferase enzyme activity in predicting the response to minoxidil treatment in 60 male patients with androgenetic alopecia. Results showed significant increases in vellus and terminal hair counts, terminal hair percentage, total hair count, and mean hair width after 4 months of minoxidil use. Notably, patients with higher baseline sulfotransferase enzyme levels responded better to treatment, suggesting that this enzyme assay could be a valuable diagnostic tool to identify potential responders to minoxidil before starting treatment. Approximately 40% of patients experienced hair growth, highlighting the enzyme assay's potential to improve treatment outcomes by excluding non-responders.

research Biochemical Analysis of Hair Growth from the Aspects of Aging and Enzyme Activities
The study investigated hair regrowth in C3H mice of varying ages by examining enzyme activities in different skin areas after shaving. It was found that hair regrowth was irregular and delayed as the mice aged, with older mice showing more significant delays. Biochemical analysis of 18 mice revealed that enzyme activities, specifically ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), transglutaminase (TGase), and alkaline phosphatase (Al-P), were significantly higher in areas where hair was regrowing compared to non-growing areas. This suggested that these enzymes played a role in hair regrowth, with increased activity in follicle-rich regions.
