Minoxidil is regularly prescribed for alopecia, and its therapeutic potential has expanded in recent times. However, few studies have been conducted to evaluate its toxicity, and controversial findings regarding its mutagenic activities remain unsolved. This study aimed to access cytotoxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic properties of minoxidil using the 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, comet assay, and micronucleus test in mouse fibroblast (L929) cells and its point mutation induction potential in the Salmonella/microsome assay.

Background: Little is known about story retelling and comprehension abilities in groups with lower levels of education and socio-economic status (SES). A growing body of evidence suggests the role of an extended network supporting narrative comprehension, but few studies have been conducted in clinical populations, even less in developing countries.
Aims: To extend our knowledge of the impact of a stroke on macrostructural aspects of discourse processes, namely main and complementary information, in individuals with middle-low to low SES and low levels of education.
