    Glossary Androgen-Dependent

    biological process influenced by male sex hormones

    Androgen-dependent refers to biological processes or conditions that are influenced or regulated by androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone. For example, androgen-dependent hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, occurs when hair follicles shrink due to the effects of these hormones, leading to thinning hair or baldness. This term is crucial in understanding conditions that are influenced by hormonal changes, particularly in the context of hair growth and loss.
