    Dutasteride / Finasteride cause fibrosis of the penis and prostate; decrease androgen receptors, increase estrogen receptors

    If you contemplate taking finasteride/ dutasteride read this study. Or just ask yourself:" do I potentially want a fibrotic penis ?" Another reason not to take dutasteride or finasteride: they cause fibrosis of the penis and prostate and increase the expression of the estrogen receptor and...

    Keto (low-carb) diet causes heart fibrosis, blocks mitochondrial biogenesis

    The bad news for the low-carb / keto community keep piling on. There are a number of posts on this blog about studies demonstrating insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity and even sarcopenia as a result of low-carb diets or their close mimetic known as intermittent fasting. Now, the study below...

    Methylene Blue On Hairline + Scar Reduction/help?

    Anyone ever used Methylene Blue on hairline? I used to dermastamp aggressively and created scar issue unfortunately. Thus I am looking to minimize/reverse some of that damage if at all possible. Would applying Methylene Blue on areas of the scalp where I created scar tissue, be helpful? (wound...

    Niacinamide May Treat Fibrotic Eye Disease And Prevent Vision Loss

    A great new study that demonstrated nicotinamide (NAM) may also have anti-fibrotic effects in addition to its positive effects on maintaining favorable NAD/NADH ratio and redox balance. The mechanism of action of NAM was inhibition of the TGF-β pathway and overall reduction of inflammation. This...

    RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN-ALDOSTERONE SYSYTEM And HAIR LOSS PROCESS

    I think excess cortisol-aldosterone- mineralocorticoid activation trough angiotensin system are main players in balding by cytokine activation and progressing to fibrosis. Focusing on TGF-β₁, which shuts off the anagen phase of the hair cycle, and 11β-HSD₁ expression should fix to the problem...

    Lidocaine Inhibits Collagen Accumulation (Fibrosis)

    Collagen accumulates with aging and causes fibrosis. Although this study only highlights aged donors, it shows that lidocaine antagonizes the pro-fibrotic effects of IGF-1, TGF Beta-1, collagen proteins and inhibits collagen accumulation. Lidocaine impairs proliferative and biosynthetic...

    Vitamin E Restores Cardiac Health After Heart Attack

    A great study that gives vitamin E a much deserved exposure in mainstream media. A few years ago, vitamin E was lambasted by the press for failing to prevent prostate cancer and heart attacks. Yet, upon a more careful look, it quickly becomes evident that those trials were handicapped from the...

    Supplementation With (long Chain) Saturated Fats Protects Liver From Alcohol

    As many of my readers already know, there are a number of human studies, going back to at least the 1960s, demonstrating that supplementation with saturated fats (SFA) protects the liver from damage induced by alcohol. I fact, supplementation with SFA not only prevents alcohol-induced liver...

    Daily Aspirin Reduces By 37% Risk Of Fatty Liver Progressing Into Cirrhosis

    Another great study about aspirin. What I particularly like about this study is that one of the authors is calling aspirin "a promising anti-fibrotic strategy for NAFLD". This is the first time I have heard a doctor refer to aspirin as anti-fibrotic chemical. Peat mentioned aspirin as one of the...

    Risk Of Fibrosis With Serotonin Antagonists

    We know that drugs with the 5-ht2b agonist effect have been linked with fibrosis risk. Which of the serotonin antagonists are safe to use for long term in this regard? I have read that cyproheptadine, pizotifen, lisuride, metergoline, ritanserin, ketanserin are safe. Any more?

    Morphostasis Theory Of Immunity Confirmed - Body Treats Heart Attack Like Viral Infection

In his view, the role of the immune system is not so much to "attack" foreign pathogens that threaten the organism, but is more akin to sanitation workers who clean up trash and other...
