Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research The Mechanisms of Anabolic Steroids, Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators, and Myostatin Inhibitors
Anabolic steroids boost muscle growth, SARMs increase muscle mass and bone density without side effects, and myostatin inhibitors block a protein that stops muscle growth, but each has potential risks.
research Histopathological Findings and Proliferative Activity of Canine Sebaceous Gland Tumors with a Predominant Reserve Cell Population
