research Carthami flos: a review of its ethnopharmacology, pharmacology and clinical applications
Safflower has been used in traditional medicine for centuries and shows promise in treating heart, brain, and inflammatory conditions, but more research is needed to ensure its safety.
research Neonatal finasteride induces anxiogenic-like profile and deteriorates passive avoidance in adulthood after intrahippocampal neurosteroid administration
Finasteride given to baby rats causes anxiety-like behavior and worsens learning from punishment in adult rats.
research Current Perspectives on the Physiological Activities of Fermented Soybean-Derived Cheonggukjang
Cheonggukjang may help prevent and manage various diseases and improve overall health, but its odor and safety concerns need addressing.
research Cholesterol homeostasis: Links to hair follicle biology and hair disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
