TLDR Goserelin and oestradiol treatment slightly improved hairiness but did not significantly change sebum production or hair characteristics in mildly hirsute women.
The study investigated the effects of the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue, goserelin, and oestradiol replacement on sebum excretion rates and hair size in mildly hirsute women. The research aimed to understand how these treatments influenced androgen-related skin and hair conditions. The findings indicated that goserelin significantly reduced sebum excretion rates, while oestradiol replacement helped maintain hair size. This suggested that manipulating hormone levels could effectively manage symptoms of mild hirsutism.
