research Androgens and the Female Brain: The Relationship between Testosterone Levels, Depression, Anxiety, Cognitive Function, and Emotion Processing in Females with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Higher testosterone in females with PCOS is linked to depression and cognitive issues, but anti-androgen treatment can help.
research 0885 The androgen-THY1 axis mediates sexual dimorphism in dermal adipogenesis and fibrosis
Androgens reduce THY1 in skin cells, leading to less fat, more fibrosis, and worse healing in males.
research Early androgen activity after birth determines the hypothalamic expression of androgen and estrogen receptors in adulthood in female but not in male rats
Early androgen exposure affects hormone receptor expression in adult female rats' brains, but not in males.
research Impacts of Age and Androgen Level on Albino Rat Meibomian Gland: Light & Electron Microscopic study
Age and androgen levels significantly affect meibomian gland structure and function.

PCOS may be influenced by factors in the blood, not just the ovaries.
research Iatrogenic androgen and estrogen excess in a postmenopausal woman presenting with facial erythema, acne, and hirsutism
A postmenopausal woman's facial redness, acne, and excess hair were caused by too much hormone therapy for insomnia, but improved after stopping the treatment.
