research ADT-G as a promising biomarker for peripheral hyperandrogenism in adult female acne
ADT-G may be a useful indicator of increased androgen levels in women with acne and can be lowered with certain birth control pills.
research Plasma androsterone/epiandrosterone sulfates as markers of 5α-reductase activity: Effect of finasteride in normal men
Finasteride effectively lowers specific hormone levels, helping monitor treatment progress.

Women with acne have lower levels of a specific hormone marker than women without acne.
research Is 3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide a diagnostic marker in women with androgenic manifestations?
3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide is not a useful marker for androgen excess but may help monitor certain treatments.
research Androgen Conjugates: Physiology and Clinical Significance
Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.
research Clinical relevance of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone metabolism in women
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a role in women's health issues like excess hair and baldness, and treatments blocking these hormones may help.
research Hirsutism and Virilization in the Female
The chapter explains the causes of excessive hair growth and masculinization in women and how to measure hormone levels related to these conditions.

Women with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia have higher levels of certain steroids, which can be reduced by treatment.
research Long-term physiological trends and their drivers: linking hair hormone concentrations with telemetry data in GPS-collared Serengeti wildebeest
Wildebeest stress and hormone levels are influenced by food availability, human presence, and reproductive cycles.
research C19and C215β/5αMetabolite Ratios in Subjects Treated with the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride: Comparison of Male Pseudohermaphrodites with Inherited 5α-Reductase Deficiency*
Finasteride may treat baldness but less effective for those with 5α-reductase deficiency.
research Urinary steroids in men with male-pattern alopecia
Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Alterations in androgen conjugate levels in women and men with alopecia
Women with hair loss have higher androgen levels, while men with early balding have altered androgen ratios.
research PLASMA C19 STEROID SULPHATE LEVELS AND INDICES OF ANDROGEN BIOAVAILABILITY IN FEMALE PATTERN ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA
Women with female pattern hair loss have higher levels of certain androgens, suggesting increased androgen exposure to hair follicles.
research Altered Hormone and Bioactive Lipid Plasma Profile in Rodent Models of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Revealed by Targeted Mass Spectrometry
Rodent models of PCOS show some hormone changes similar to humans, but also have key differences.
research 3 alpha, 17 beta-androstanediol glucuronide in plasma. A marker of androgen action in idiopathic hirsutism.
High levels of 3 alpha-diol glucuronide in the blood are a marker of increased androgen action in women with excessive hair growth of unknown cause.
research Quantitative analysis of 34 sex (pro)hormones, conjugates and bioactive oxidation products thereof in human plasma by GC- and LC-MS/MS and systematic investigation of overestimations of analyte concentrations not accounted for by method validation
The method accurately measures sex hormones in human plasma but can have small errors.
research Pharmacology and Pharmacokinetics of Minoxidil
