GlossaryCytotoxicity Assay

measures how toxic a substance is to living cells

A Cytotoxicity Assay is a laboratory test used to evaluate the toxicity of a substance on living cells. It measures how many cells survive after exposure to the substance, helping researchers determine the potential harmful effects of chemicals, drugs, or other agents. This test is crucial in drug development and safety assessments.

Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 1 year ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
