The Serum Evaluation of Sex Hormones Including DHEAs, DHT, Testosterone in Oral Lichen Planus Patients

This study investigated the serum levels of DHT, DHEAs, and testosterone in 40 female patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) compared to 40 healthy controls. The results showed no significant differences in the levels of these androgens between the OLP patients and the control group, nor between menopausal and non-menopausal women. The findings suggest no correlation between OLP and these sex hormones, indicating that a neuroendocrine etiology for OLP is unlikely.
