Studies on rat hair cultures. IV. The effects of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone

M Guarrera et al. Arch Dermatol Res (1975). .

Abstract

By means of two different quantification techniques the Authors were able to show that the addition of increasing concentrations of testosterone to the medium of hair-cultures simultaneously provokes an increased volume of epidermis as well as of hair-follicles and a better differentiation of hair follicles. The addition of dihydrotestosterone, on the contrary, does not induce any change.
