    TLDR Bidens pilosa L. extract effectively treats androgen deficiency dry eye in rats.
    The study investigated the effects of Bidens pilosa L. (Bp) extract on androgen deficiency dry eye in rats. Twenty-four rats were divided into four groups, with dry eye induced in two groups using finasteride. The Bp treatment group showed significant improvements in tear quantity, tear film stability, and reduced inflammation compared to the finasteride-only group. The study found that Bp extract effectively treated dry eye by maintaining lacrimal gland structure and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β and TNF-α. This suggested that Bp extract could be a potential treatment for androgen deficiency dry eye.

      The conversation humorously discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on finasteride and hair transplants, with references to public figures like Trump and Biden. It speculates on whether Trump has stopped using finasteride, noting his hair thinning and potential side effects.

      The user is using RU58841, finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil to slow down aggressive hair loss but is still experiencing hair shedding due to high testosterone levels. They plan to use ostarine to lower testosterone and prevent hair loss while maintaining muscle mass, and will continue using the other treatments.

      A 24-year-old tried minoxidil, finasteride, keto shampoo, and derma-rolling for hair loss but saw no improvement and is now at Norwood 5. They feel there's nothing more they can do and are considering going bald despite not liking the look.
