Progesterone treatment improved seizures in a woman with menstrual cycle-related epilepsy, but a wrong medication worsened her condition.
research Mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetic neuropathy may be involved in the development of neuropathic pain via a reduction in neurosteroid synthesis
Mitochondrial problems in diabetic nerve damage might cause pain by lowering the production of certain nerve-related steroids.
research Implications of neuroimaging for the treatment of epilepsy
Neuroimaging suggests that treatments targeting brain steroids could help control epilepsy, especially types linked to the menstrual cycle.
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.
