Androgen Therapy For Women
By Cynthia Jones
The male hormones androgens play a key role in the female pattern baldness. Therefore, Androgen Therapy for Women is the usual prescription for female pattern baldness. The therapy with Systemic Androgen Receptor Protein (ARP) inhibitors is useful in this case.
The main sources of androgens in women
Adrenal glands and ovaries are the main sources of androgens in women. Androgens like dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) produced by the adrenal glands can be converted to testosterone by enzymes.
In females dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) coming from the adrenal glands is the key precursor of DHT. It needs conversion by both alpha 5 reductase enzymes and hydroxysteroid hydrogenase isomerase enzyme.
Androgens interact with androgen receptors as testosterone and DHT. Androgen receptors can have direct interaction with the testosterone, or when testosterone is converted into DHT by the enzyme named 5-alpha-reductase.
Reasons for success of Androgen Therapy for Women
Why are anti-androgens so useful in female pattern baldness? It is because
they tend to decrease both testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. They counter Female Hair Loss by stimulating hair re-growth.
