research Mechanical forces in skin disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research Patients treated for male pattern hair with finasteride show, after discontinuation of the drug, altered levels of neuroactive steroids in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma
Finasteride affects brain and blood steroids, causing lasting sexual and emotional side effects.
research Studies on Neurosteroids XXV. Influence of a 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitor, Finasteride, on Rat Brain Neurosteroid Levels and Metabolism
