This review explores female androgen physiology, focusing on receptors, production, and actions. It examines how factors like age and menopause influence androgen levels and their effects.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Reproductive Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Androgen receptors are found in many female tissues.
  • Understanding androgen actions is crucial for various pathophysiological states.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the physiology of androgens and their precursors in females.
  • To detail androgen receptor function, steroid metabolism, and circulating levels.
  • To examine physiological modulators of androgens.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of androgen physiology.
  • Analysis of androgen production and metabolism.
  • Examination of androgen receptor interactions.
  • Review of factors influencing androgen concentrations.

Main Results:

  • Androgens (testosterone, dihydrotestosterone) and precursors (DHEA, DHEAS, androstenedione) play significant roles.
  • Androgen receptor activity is key to their diverse actions.
  • Circadian, cyclical, age-related, and menopausal factors modulate androgen levels.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive understanding of female androgen physiology is expanding.
  • Androgen actions and their modulation are vital for female health.
  • Further research into androgen receptor signaling is warranted.
