In women, testosterone is measured as part of the investigation of alopecia, acne, hirsutism, osteoporosis, libido disorders, detection of androgen-secreting tumors, late-onset CAH, PCOS, and other endocrine and reproductive diseases [98]. PCOS is the most common endocrine disease in reproductive ...
Bone and cardiovascular system effects are at least in part mediated through aromatization to estrogens. Evaluation and morbidity of testosterone excess syndromes such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and androgen secreting tumors are described. Presently, androgen deficient syndrome in women is not ...
androgen-secreting tumorsAndrogen excess affects between 2% and 10% of women. While the majority of these patients suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome, a few present with an androgen-secreting neoplasm. An elevated circulating total testosterone level and dehydroepiandiosterone sulfate (DHEAS) level...
In women, high levels of testosterone are generally found in hirsutism and virilization, polycystic ovaries, ovarian tumors, adrenal tumors, and adrenal hyperplasia. In male, high levels of testosterone are associated to the hypothalamic pituitary unit diseases, testicular tumors, congenital adrenal ...
Hirsutism, defined as excessive male-pattern hair growth, affects between 5 and 10% of women of reproductive age and most women with hirsutism have polycystic ovary syndrome [1, 2]. Androgen-secreting tumors are rarely seen as the cause of hirsutism. In an epidemiological study, the frequency ...

Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and testosterone (T) both play distinct roles in the early stages of folliculogenesis. However, the relationship between serum T and AMH levels is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the association between serum T and AMH levels in infertile women. A...
