    TLDR 4-octyl itaconate may prevent hearing loss caused by the drug cisplatin by activating certain cell protection pathways.
    The study investigated the potential of 4-octyl itaconate (4-OI), an NRF2 activator, in mitigating cisplatin-induced hearing loss. Cisplatin, an antitumor drug, can cause irreversible hearing loss. The research involved 24 mice and used both in vitro and in vivo experiments. The results showed that 4-OI significantly reduced the toxic effects of cisplatin on HEI-OC1 cells and cochlear hair cells, and reduced the production of reactive oxygen species and inflammatory factors. It was found that 4-OI could potentially regulate the ferroptosis process and inhibit cisplatin-induced ferroptosis, likely through the activation of the NRF2/HO-1 signalling pathway. The study concluded that 4-OI effectively mitigated cisplatin-induced hearing loss in mice and preserved cell viability, suggesting it as a promising drug for the prevention of cisplatin-associated hearing impairment.

      A 23-year-old shares progress in hair quality after 4 months using dutasteride, topical minoxidil, and other treatments, noting improved crown thickness but persistent temple thinning. They switched from finasteride to dutasteride due to side effects and started testosterone replacement therapy, which they believe helps mitigate side effects.
