Androgen receptor abnormality in X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy.

abstract：:Recurrent stroke is a major public health concern and new treatment strategies are needed. While modulation of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) has proven effective in reducing recurrent cardiac events, its role in preventing recurrent cerebrovascular events remains unclear. RAAS is both a circulating a...
