September 2024 in “Chemico-Biological Interactions” In this study, researchers observed that Finasteride improved cardiac function by enhancing antioxidant levels and reducing oxidative stress in obese and aging rats, though it did not benefit metabolic status and induced insulin resistance in normal diet-fed rats.
April 2024 in “Cosmetics” Different oils affect hair flexibility and strength, with their impact varying on whether hair is virgin or bleached.
July 2023 in “International Journal of Endocrinology” In this study, researchers observed that Centratherum anthelminticum seed extract effectively reduced cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin resistance, and inflammatory markers, while normalizing hormone levels and oxidative stress markers in rodents with PCOS, suggesting potential benefits for managing the condition.
March 2026 in “JID Innovations” In a mouse model study, researchers found that mutations in Aire reduced alopecia areata frequency, while Notch4 mutations did not lead to the disease, likely due to proximity with a resistance gene.
September 2023 in “Journal of Natural Fibers” This study found that using a microfiber towel to dry human hair better preserves hair keratin integrity and wear resistance compared to blow-drying or using a cotton towel, as indicated by stronger alpha-helix structure in FTIR analysis.
