Overview

Musk is a secretion of the forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) Musk is a precious and wide applied material in traditional Chinese medicine. Nitromusks are a kind of synthetic musks used in the production of cleaning agents, detergents, and personal care products.

Effects

Muskrat has an effect of reducing MHO while musk has not. Musk has an antidepressant-like effect in an animal model of depression. It is advisable to assess its efficacy in people continually exposed to stressors.

Musk odors have been used widely for fragrance and medicine for >2000 years. Musk has an antidepressant-like effect in an animal model of depression. Musk odorants belong to structurally very different substance classes.
