hormone precursor influencing sex hormones and hair growth

Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA-S) is a hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands, and it serves as a precursor to male and female sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. It plays a role in the development of secondary sexual characteristics and can influence hair growth and skin health. Elevated or decreased levels of DHEA-S can be indicative of various health conditions, such as adrenal disorders or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

community here is why isotretinoin might cause hair loss and maybe why dupa happens.

in Research/Science 7 upvotes 1 year ago
