Section 6: (Ro)accutane effects suggested to worsen with age

Adolescents is an age group exposed to (Ro)accutane. This during a hormonal peak that occurs. There are several age-related changes in the body and brain. A decline in growth hormone, androgens and other hormones occurs with age. Receptor expression in cells change and so does metabolic activity. Insulin sensitivity changes with age. The long-term effects from (Ro)accutane exposure are unknown. The effects of a (Ro)accutane exposure correlate with the theories that by the scientifical community as a whole, at present are held as an explanation for the development of among other things alzheimers disease, dementia and cognitive decline.
