research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.
research Androgens in SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Infections
Men, particularly those with hair loss, are more likely to get the virus, and those with prostate cancer may have milder symptoms. Testosterone's role in the disease is unclear, and the virus doesn't seem to harm male fertility. Women with PCOS might be at higher risk. More research is needed.
research Environmental Air Pollutants Affecting Skin Functions with Systemic Implications
Air pollution harms skin health and can worsen skin diseases.
research The impact of minoxidil on male reproductive biology: a multi-approach study including systematic review, in vivo, and ex vivo experiments
Minoxidil may harm male reproductive health by causing testicular damage and hormonal disruption.
research Anorexia nervosa and reproduction: connecting brain to gonads
Anorexia nervosa can harm fertility and increase pregnancy risks.
research Progesterone Inhibits the Growth of Human Neuroblastoma: In Vitro and In Vivo Evidence
Progesterone significantly reduces neuroblastoma tumor growth without harming healthy cells.
research A review of environmental and health effects of synthetic cosmetics
Synthetic cosmetics can harm health and the environment.
research Applications of Plasma-Activated Liquid in the Medical Field
