Gonadal Steroids and Body Composition, Strength, and Sexual Function in Men

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial investigated the distinct roles of testosterone and estradiol in regulating body composition, muscle strength, and sexual function in men.

The Antioxidant and HDAC-Inhibitor α-Lipoic Acid: Is Synergistic with Exemestane in Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer Cells

The in vitro study examined the synergistic effects of the aromatase inhibitor exemestane and the antioxidant/HDAC inhibitor α-lipoic acid on estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and T47D). The combination treatment significantly reduced cell viability, promoted apoptosis, and modulated key apoptosis-related proteins, increasing p21, APAF-1, BIM, and FOXO1 while
