research Expression of type 1 5α-reductase and metabolism of testosterone in reconstructed human epidermis (SkinEthic®): a new model for screening skin-targeted androgen modulators
The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.
research [G-proteins, receptor signal transduction, and growth hormone secretion].
The document concludes that antiandrogenic drugs like cyproterone acetate and spironolactone are effective but not permanent treatments for skin-related androgenization in women.
