Abstract:
Sustainable rates of sebum excretion(SRSE) was measured in seven women who had normal regular periods, none were taking oral contraceptives with no significant signs of acne or hirsutism, with assays for testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and progesterone during menstrual cycle. The SRSE in omen during the follicular phase wa lower in the luteal phase (p <0.01)than in the men (p <0.01). However during the luteal phase the SRSE in the women was increased similar to the SESE in the men. We investigated the above horrnoies in relationship to the SRSE during the women's menstrua] cycle. During the follicular phase the hormone which was the most determining factor affected the SRSl was total testerone, while dihydrotestosterone was the most determining factor of the horrnone affecting the SRSE during the ovulation and luteal phase.
