research Prostate-Sparing Effects in Primates of the Potent Androgen 7α-Methyl-19-Nortestosterone: A Potential Alternative to Testosterone for Androgen Replacement and Male Contraception1
MENT could be a better option than testosterone for male hormone therapy and birth control because it works well at lower doses and has fewer side effects on the prostate.
research Defining microRNA signatures of hair follicular stem and progenitor cells in healthy and androgenic alopecia patients
Found microRNA differences in hair cells, suggesting potential treatment targets for hair loss.
research Polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes: effects on male aging
Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.
research Androgenetic alopecia: effects of oral finasteride on hormone profile, reproduction and sexual function
Finasteride safely treats hair loss without harming hormones or reproduction, but may slightly reduce sexual function.
research Hair characteristics and androgenetic alopecia in Koreans
Korean hair is typically thicker with a slower growth rate, and treatments like Dutasteride are effective for male pattern hair loss without major side effects.
research Shedding light on therapeutics in alopecia and their relevance to COVID-19
