It has been determined that Androgens are the main hormones that are involved in causing hair loss. It is the AR gene that plays an important role in providing a blueprint in production of androgen receptors. It still remains uncertain when examing the factors that induce patterened hair loss in both men and women. Analyzing recent research done in this field is

Introduction The topic I chose to research was Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Polycystic is a health problem that can affect a women’s menstrual cycle‚ childbearing‚ hormones‚ and other bodily functions. Women with this disorder typically have higher levels of androgens in their bodies. [ (DePaolo‚ 2007) ] In this paper I will first do an overview of the female reproductive system‚ briefly discus the menstrual and ovarian cycle and finally discuss Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Definition Congenital adrenal hyperplasia can affect both boys and girls. People with congenital adrenal hyperplasia lack an enzyme needed by the adrenal gland to make the hormones cortisol and aldosterone. Without these hormones‚ the body produces more androgen‚ a type of male sex hormone. This causes male characteristics to appear early (or inappropriately). About 1 in 10‚000 to 18‚000 children are born with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Signs and Symptoms Girls will usually have normal female reproductive

Heredity and Hormones The Influences of heredity and hormones on human behavior The Influence of Heredity and Hormones on Human Behavior Human behavior has always been fascinating to many people. Scientists have long studied the factors that cause and contribute too many different types of human behaviors.

Sexual Anatomy On the female body there are many external sex organs. One of the organs is the vulva. Vulva comes from a Latin term that means “wrapper” or “covering”. There are six different parts to the vulva. The different parts are: the Mons Veneris; Labia Majora; Labia Minora; the Clitoris and the vaginal opening. The mons veneris consists of fatty tissue that covers the joint of the pubic bones in front of the body. It is below the abdomen and above the clitoris. The mons veneris cushions

The aggression found relates to sexual maturation and genetic characteristics. Androgens and testosterone are major influences of aggression. Hormones affect behavior and emotions. These aggressive effects can stem from contemporaneous organizational influences. Hormones are chemicals that combine and respond to cell receptors. The
