Testosterone and its metabolites affect brain functions and could help treat neurological disorders.
research 854 Dermal fibroblasts enhance growth factors production by androgens, and modulate keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation
Androgens increase growth factors in skin cells, which may lead to acne.
research The role of androgen and androgen receptor in skin-related disorders
Targeting androgen receptors could be a promising way to treat skin disorders with fewer side effects.
research Regulatory roles of androgens in cutaneous wound healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
research Fetal Programming of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome by Androgen Excess: Evidence from Experimental, Clinical, and Genetic Association Studies
Exposure to too much androgen before birth might cause polycystic ovary syndrome later in life.
research Treatment of female pattern hair loss with the androgen receptor antagonist flutamide
