Androgen deficiencies in women have also, as of 2001, been recognized as a medical disorder that can be treated with ART. [8] As with men, symptoms associated with androgen deficiency are most prevalent with age, and androgen replacement therapy has been shown to help with symptoms of menopause. [9]
Plasma levels of DHEA in adult men are 10 to 25 nM, in premenopausal women are 5 to 30 nM, and in postmenopausal women are 2 to 20 nM. [25] Conversely, DHEA-S levels are an order of magnitude higher at 1–10 μM. [25] Levels of DHEA and DHEA-S decline to the lower nanomolar and micromolar ranges in men and women aged 60 to 80 years.

This is a list of antiandrogens, [1] or drugs that prevent the effects of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). [2] It includes direct antagonists of the androgen receptor (AR), androgen synthesis inhibitors like 5α-reductase inhibitors and CYP17A1 inhibitors, and antigonadotropins like GnRH analogues, estrogens, and ...
Skeletal muscle androgen receptor expression increases with acute exercise in correlation to free testosterone. [24] When comparing men and women in the 30-, 50-, and 70-year age groups, young and middle aged men showed increased testosterone after exercise, with the latter also having increased cortisol. Elderly men showed no change. [25]

Androgens may modulate the physiology of vaginal tissue and contribute to female genital sexual arousal. [76] Women's level of testosterone is higher when measured pre-intercourse vs. pre-cuddling, as well as post-intercourse vs. post-cuddling. [77] There is a time lag effect when testosterone is administered, on genital arousal in women.
