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 Utilization of L-Cystine and L- and D-Methionine by Mink during the Period of Intensive Hair Growth
Mink use L-methionine and L-cystine slightly better than natural amino acids for hair growth, but D-methionine is not effective.
