    TLDR Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.
    The document from 22 years ago discussed Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs), drugs that can selectively stimulate or block the effects of androgens in different tissues. The authors, Lin Zhi and Esther Martinborough, explained that testosterone (T) is a non-tissue-selective androgen with activities in both anabolic (bone and muscular) and androgenic (reproductive) target tissues. The indiscriminate activity of T led to the development of SARMs, which can separate these activities and potentially have fewer side effects. The authors also discussed the potential therapeutic uses of SARMs, such as treating osteopenia or osteoporosis in elderly men. They also covered the effects of androgens on bone and muscle, behavior, cognitive ability, prostate growth, hair growth, skin health, and spermatogenesis. The document concluded that the development of SARMs was in a very early stage, but they held promise for treating a variety of conditions.

      A user humorously suggests an extreme hair loss treatment regimen involving multiple medications and therapies, including Dutasteride, Minoxidil, RU58841, and others, claiming it would prevent hair loss but with potential side effects like gynecomastia. The conversation highlights concerns about safety, side effects, and the effectiveness of such a comprehensive approach.

      The conversation discusses the use of RU58841, a non-FDA approved research chemical for hair loss, with mixed opinions on its safety and effectiveness. Some users are willing to try it as a last resort after other treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride failed, while others express concerns about potential long-term side effects and lack of official research.

      Hair loss treatments, including microneedling, minoxidil, finasteride and RU58841; the efficacy of these treatments; criticisms of Kevin Mann's content related to his selective data presentation and biases towards certain treatments; and other topics such as DHT being labeled a "trash hormone" and critiques of other hairloss YouTubers.
