Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Adolescent acne: association to sex, puberty, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone
Higher DHT levels are linked to more acne in adolescents, especially boys.
research Testosterone and female sexuality: A skeptical view
Testosterone's role in women's sex drive is unclear and needs more research, as low levels don't always mean less sexual interest and high levels can cause side effects.
research Worldwide cohort study of 46, XY differences/disorders of sex development genetic diagnoses: geographic and ethnic differences in variants
About 50% of 46, XY DSD cases lack a genetic diagnosis, but advanced sequencing methods improve detection.
research EXPERIENCE WITH ANIFROLUMAB IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS PATIENTS WITH NEUROLOGICAL MANIFESTATIONS
