Article Synopsis
- High-dose testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) combined with finasteride offers benefits such as improved body composition, muscle strength, and bone density in older men, while mitigating the risk of prostate enlargement.
- A pilot study involved 12 men with spinal cord injuries, demonstrating that TRT with finasteride significantly increased lean body mass and muscle size, alongside enhancing bone mineral density compared to a placebo.
- Results suggest TRT + finasteride reduced fat mass and improved muscular strength, with measurable benefits observed as early as 6 months into the treatment, indicating its potential effectiveness for men with low testosterone post-injury.
Siberia and Northwestern Russia are home to over 40 culturally and linguistically diverse indigenous ethnic groups, yet genetic variation and histories of peoples from this region are largely uncharacterized. We present deep whole-genome sequencing data (∼38×) from 28 individuals belonging to 14 distinct indigenous populations from that region. We combined these data sets with additional 32 modern-day and 46 ancient human genomes to reconstruct genetic histories of several indigenous Northern Eurasian populations.
