Did you mean Serum Androgen Levels?

Glossary Serum Androgen Levels

concentration of male sex hormones in the bloodstream

Serum Androgen Levels refer to the concentration of androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone, in the blood. These levels are important for diagnosing and managing conditions related to hormonal imbalances, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women or androgenic alopecia (hair loss) in both men and women.

in Research/Science 7 months ago

Reducing sebum can indirectly lower DHT levels, with treatments like accutane, tretinoin, and green tea extract acting as DHT blockers. Accutane can lower DHT levels by reducing 5α-reductase activity, but its impact on hair varies.
