Investigation of the Effects of Food Additive Sodium Benzoate on Oxidative Stress and Genotoxicity

This study found that long-term exposure to sodium valproate can increase oxidative stress and inflammation in rat stomach tissues, while treatment with rutin, a natural antioxidant, was associated with reduced markers of these effects at dosages of 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg.

This study found that women with diffuse alopecia exhibited higher anxiety and depression scores compared to controls, suggesting a bidirectional relationship between alopecia and psychological symptoms.

In this study, alopecia areata patients reported higher anxiety, depression, and lower quality of life compared to those with androgenetic alopecia and healthy controls.

This case report describes alopecia associated with escitalopram use, which improved upon switching to duloxetine, and examines existing literature on antidepressant-related hair loss.

This study found that administering dutasteride did not change spermatogenesis or oxidative stress levels in rat testes, though further research is needed to confirm these findings.
