Eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome, linked to contaminated L-tryptophan supplements, caused severe symptoms and some deaths, with long-term effects in survivors.
research Restricted effects of androgens on glucocorticoid signaling in the mouse prefrontal cortex and midbrain
Androgens can affect glucocorticoid signaling in specific mouse brain areas.
research Targets to treat androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
