Glutamic acid-alanine-glycine mixture

The glutamic acid-alanine-glycine mixture is an orally active activator of testosterone 5α-reductase (5α-reductase) . It promotes prostate function by enhancing the activity of 5α-reductase and increasing the levels of free amino acids. However, when combined with testosterone and estradiol (HY-B0141R), the glutamic acid-alanine-glycine mixture inhibits 5α-reductase activity and decreases the levels of free amino acids. The glutamic acid-alanine-glycine mixture can be used in research related to prostate function and endocrine disorders[1].
