This article discusses the role of Minoxidil Sulfotransferase Enzyme (SULT1A1) genetic variants in predicting the response to oral minoxidil for treating female pattern hair loss, without presenting new research findings.
research Value of Sulfotransferase Enzyme Assay in Predicting Minoxidil Response in Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia
This study found that sulfotransferase enzyme levels significantly impact the effectiveness of minoxidil in treating androgenetic alopecia, suggesting that testing for this enzyme could help identify potential responders before treatment.
research Identification of the sulfotransferase iso-enzyme primarily responsible for the bio-activation of topical minoxidil.
This abstract reports that topical minoxidil is currently the only FDA-approved treatment for pattern hair loss in both men and women.
research Sulfotransferases, sulfatases and formylglycine-generating enzymes: a sulfation fascination
This review discusses the structural and functional advances in understanding sulfotransferases and sulfatases, highlighting new insights into enzyme mechanisms and inactivation by clinically relevant aryl sulfamates, but provides no new experimental results.

5 / 173 resultscommunity What Determines Sulfotransferase Enzyme Levels In The Body?
Some people have low sulfotransferase enzyme levels, affecting their response to minoxidil. Lifestyle factors, genetics, and diet, like MSM intake, might influence these enzyme levels.
community Minoxidil + Tretinoin if you suspect you have low sulfotransferase enzyme activity
Minoxidil may not be effective due to low sulfotransferase activity, and the user considers adding tretinoin to the regimen. They are unsure about the timing and combination with microneedling.
community I literally can’t find any evidence of sulfotransferase being upregulated by microneedling or retinoids like tretinoin
Microneedling and tretinoin may enhance minoxidil absorption for hair loss, but evidence on their effectiveness is limited. Iron supplements and broccoli sprouts are suggested for enzyme activation, but their impact on hair is unclear.
community Who won’t respond to minoxidil? (Studies)
Minoxidil's effectiveness varies due to differences in sulfotransferase enzyme levels in the scalp, affecting people with conditions like ASD, liver disease, and androgenic alopecia. Treatments like topical tretinoin, microneedling, and using minoxidil sulfate instead of regular minoxidil can improve results for those with low enzyme levels.
community Best affordable tretinoin cream available in the US
Tretinoin can enhance minoxidil effectiveness by boosting the sulfotransferase enzyme. Users suggest sources for affordable tretinoin and mention a product combining tretinoin with minoxidil.
