research Sodium valproate
Sodium valproate is not recommended as a first-line treatment for neuropathy but may be used in resistant cases.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Associations Between GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists and Alopecia: A Multi‐Centre Retrospective Analysis and Public Interest Trends
GLP-1 receptor agonists may increase the risk of a specific type of hair loss called androgenetic alopecia.
research Introduction to Toxins Special Issue on Botulinum Toxins: New Uses in the Treatment of Diseases (2nd Edition)

research Homologous recombination induced by doxazosin mesylate and saw palmetto in the Drosophila wing‐spot test
Doxazosin mesylate and saw palmetto cause genetic changes in fruit flies.
research Reversible exacerbation of obstructive sleep apnea by α1-adrenergic blockade with tamsulosin: A case report
Tamsulosin can worsen sleep apnea in some patients.
research A Natural Product Molecule of Artocarpus Heterophyllus Reverses Inflammation Due to the Effect of Acute Exposure of Prostate Tissue to Testosterone Enanthate in Wistar Rats
Artocarpus heterophyllus seed extract may help treat prostate inflammation without side effects.
research Review: Adding α1-blockers to 5α-reductase inhibitors improves lower urinary tract symptoms in men

research Repurposing steroidogenesis inhibitors for the therapy of neuropsychiatric disorders: Promises and caveats
Drugs for hormone-related conditions might help treat mental disorders but could have serious side effects.
research Effects of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
5-alpha reductase inhibitors can cause sexual, neurologic, endocrine, and cardiovascular side effects, but these are rare and usually stop after ending treatment.
research Botulinum toxin in modern clinical and aesthetic medicine: history, applications, risks and future perspectives
Botulinum toxin is effective for medical and cosmetic uses but requires careful handling to avoid serious side effects.
research Reproduction of the human relevant potency threshold (HRPT) for estrogen receptor alpha agonism in an inference performance screen for ICCVAM’s regulatory scientific confidence framework
A new method effectively predicts estrogen-related health effects for early screening.
research Intracrine and Myotrophic Roles of 5α-Reductase and Androgens
Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.
research Rizatriptan benzoate-loaded dissolving microneedle patch for management of acute migraine therapy
Rizatriptan benzoate-loaded dissolving microneedles are effective and convenient for treating acute migraines.
research News & Notes
Loop diuretics may double bone loss in elderly men, finasteride lowers prostate cancer risk but may increase high-grade tumors, abarelix reduces testosterone quickly, and transdermal testosterone offers minimal sexual benefit for women.
research [Peptidergic innervation in the sinus hair follicles of several mammalian species].
Sinus hair follicles in mammals have different nerve fiber types with species-specific patterns, especially in cats.
