    Glossary Steroid Sulfatase Inhibitors

    block enzyme activity to reduce active steroid levels

    Steroid Sulfatase Inhibitors (STS inhibitors) are compounds that block the activity of the enzyme steroid sulfatase, which is involved in the conversion of sulfated steroid precursors into active steroids like estrogen. By inhibiting this enzyme, STS inhibitors can reduce the levels of active steroids, potentially offering therapeutic benefits in conditions like hormone-sensitive cancers and certain skin disorders.

      in Research/Science  96 upvotes 3 years ago
      The conversation is about the potential dangers of taking oral minoxidil and grapefruit juice together. Some users express concern about dangerous drug interactions, while others argue that grapefruit juice may inhibit the metabolism of finasteride. The conclusion is that grapefruit juice may make finasteride less effective, but it won't affect minoxidil.
