In females, androstenedione is produced by the theca calls of the corpus luteum, and under these circumstances it is rapidly converted to estrogen and/or progesterone. The production of androgens by theca cells appears to be regulated by insulin and insulin-like growth factors, explaining the ...
” While these hormones play a central role in male physiology, they are also present to a lesser degree in females, with the most predominant androgens including testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT),androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S). In ...
In females, the androgens are secreted mainly in the adrenal glands and in the ovary. Around 10% of the androgens are derived from peripheral conversion, mainly of DHEA. Androstenedione and Testosterone show high diurnal variability. The highest levels are measured in the morning. At the age of...

It also revealed unexpectedly high release of Ad by both mature males and females. This is a steroid that has received very little attention in the past. However, it is one that is attracting interest because it is released into the water in particular abundance by male and female ...
. In total subjects, no significant difference was found between study subjects in their bivariate correlations of the hormonal panel variables, unlike results found in the subgroups stratified by lower versus higher cortisol levels. A subgroup of pre-RA females may have relative adrenal cortical ...
In males with acne the mean serum testosterone levels were marginally and the DHEAS and A4A levels were significantly higher as compared to controls (p). Females with acne had significantly higher levels of testosterone (p< 0.001), DHEA-S (p< 0.001) and (p < 0.01) than controls. Our ...
The genetic potential for increased androgen secretion may affect certain personality characteristics related to career‐orientation in females, i.e., those labeled "masculine" by this culture, such as assertiveness and independence. Moreover, the positive or negative stress associated with an occupation...

(2) Females administered D, A, or T in infancy were treated with testosterone propionate (TP) in adulthood. Neonatal androgenization was found to enhance the growth response of the phallus but not differentially. (3) Adult, sexually experienced male rats were castrated. When sexual behavior had...
