    Glossary Circulating Androgens

    male sex hormones present in the bloodstream

    Circulating androgens are male sex hormones, such as testosterone, that are present in the bloodstream. These hormones play a crucial role in the development of male characteristics, but they are also found in females in smaller amounts. Elevated levels of circulating androgens can influence hair growth patterns and are often linked to conditions like androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) and hirsutism (excessive hair growth).
