The role and research progress of androgen in brain development and function maintenance
The androgens are steroid hormones produced by cholesterol through a series of chemical reactions in organs such as the gonads and adrenal gland.During different stages of human growth,development and aging,androgens have different blood concentrations.They are lipophilic and are able to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and have specific physiological and pathological effects on brain morphology development and function maintenance.However,their specific function,clinical significance,and mechanism have not been fully elucidated.This article will provide a review of relevant research progress.
