research THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM AND HAIR GROWTH IN THE RAT
Male rats grow hair faster than females, and certain hormones can slow or slightly increase hair growth, but not significantly beyond natural rates.
research The role of androgen therapy
Androgens, male hormones, play a role in both men and women's health, and testosterone therapy can help women with low levels, but it's not suitable for pregnant or lactating women, or those with certain conditions.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome patients with high BMI tend to have functional disorders of androgen excess: a prospective study
Overweight women with PCOS are more likely to have excess male hormones.
