Androgen
A name for a ‘male sex hormone’, the most important of which is testosterone. Androgens are also a normal part of women’s reproduction. Besides testosterone, other important androgens are DHEA and androstenedione. All androgens increase skin oil production, thicken and darken hair and tend to cause head hair loss in the temple regions. Androgen levels are often high in women with anovulatory androgen excess. Androgenic means male hormone-like.
