Androgens (Acne)

Hormones that stimulate sebaceous glands in addition to other effects on the body. Present in both males and females, androgens are responsible for physical maturation in males and therefore occur in much higher levels in males. Males tend to have more severe acne than females.

Androgens (Biology)

Hormones, such as testosterone, produced from the testes that promote secondary male characteristics.

Androgens (Clinical Trials)

A family of hormones that promote the development and maintenance of male sex characteristics.

Androgens (Contraception)

A category of male sex hormones, found in small amounts in women. The main androgen is called testosterone, and the other androgens really just help testosterone to achieve certain results. In men, androgens are necessary for reproductive development. In women, androgens can be responsible for unwanted hair — especially on the face, chin, upper lip, and cheeks. Increased androgens or sensitivity to androgens can also cause acne.

Androgens (Female Health)

Sex hormones found naturally in a woman's body, which is produced by the ovaries, adrenal glands and other tissues. Androgens play a key role in regulating certain bodily functions, including the growth spurt at puberty. It is believed to regulate the function of many organs, including the reproductive tract, kidneys, liver and muscles. During menopause, androgen levels drop by more than 50 percent, which can result in, among other things, a decreased sex drive. Androgen also can promote male characteristics, such as hair formation and a deepening voice.

Androgens (Fertility)

Refers to male reproductive hormones, such as testosterone. These hormones may be produced in excess by the female in certain conditions such as PCOS
