research Male Balding as a Major Risk Factor for Severe COVID-19: A Possible Role for Targeting Androgens and Transmembrane Protease Serine 2 to Protect Vulnerable Individuals
Severe male balding may increase the risk of serious COVID-19, and treatments that reduce androgens or block a specific enzyme might help protect these individuals.
research Influence of the Alkylsulfonylamino Substituent Located at the 6-Position of 2,2-Dimethylchromans Structurally Related to Cromakalim: From Potassium Channel Openers to Calcium Entry Blockers?
New compounds similar to cromakalim were less effective at inhibiting insulin release but improved in solubility and one acted as a calcium entry blocker, not a potassium channel opener.
research Pharmacokinetics of Two Novel Formulations of Modified-Release Oral Testosterone Alone and With Finasteride in Normal Men With Experimental Hypogonadism
New oral testosterone formulations show potential for safer, effective hormone replacement in men with low testosterone.
research Androgens in SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Infections
Men, particularly those with hair loss, are more likely to get the virus, and those with prostate cancer may have milder symptoms. Testosterone's role in the disease is unclear, and the virus doesn't seem to harm male fertility. Women with PCOS might be at higher risk. More research is needed.
