June 2020 in “Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” 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.
October 2024 in “International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences” This study found that adding a SULT1A1 enzyme booster to minoxidil treatment improved hair growth response in 65% of androgenetic alopecia patients who were previous non-responders to minoxidil alone, with females benefiting more than males.

November 2013 in “Dermatologic Therapy” This study suggests that a hair follicle enzyme assay may predict response to minoxidil treatment for androgenetic alopecia with high sensitivity and specificity in a preliminary analysis.
August 2023 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study characterized the activity of naturally occurring minoxidil sulfotransferase enzymes in various plants and found that seven out of ten botanical extracts showed significant activity, suggesting these could potentially enhance minoxidil response in treating androgenetic alopecia.
