2. Degree to which hair follicles are sensitive to androgens and able to convert vellus hairs to terminal hairs. 3. Degree of 5 ɑ-reductase activity in the skin, which determines local androgen activity. 4. Ratio of growth to resting phases in affected hair follicles. 5. Thickness and degree to which individual hairs are pigmented.
Pathophysiology of <strong>Hirsutism</strong> • A combination of the following factors results in hirsutism: 1. Increased concentration of serum androgens, especially free testosterone. 2. Decreased levels of SHBG, resulting in increased bioavailable androgen. 3. Increased activity of 5 ɑ-reductase.
