To test the hypothesis that the seborrhoea of acne is an end-organ hyper-response to androgens, a standardized dose of 2% testosterone cream was applied to the forehead of eight prepubertal boys for 6 weeks and the effect determined by measurements of sebum excretion rate (SER). Three boys showed a 15-fold increase in SER and three boys were non-responders, whereas two boys had SER values between those of the responders and non-responders. These data show that sebaceous glands are stimulated by androgens to varying degrees and support the theory of an end-organ response in acne.
为了验证痤疮脂溢是皮脂腺对雄激素的终末器官过度反应这一假说,将标准化剂量的2%睾酮乳膏涂抹于8名青春期前男孩的前额,持续6周,并通过测量皮脂分泌率(SER)来确定其效果。3名男孩的SER增加了15倍,3名男孩无反应,而另外2名男孩的SER值介于有反应者和无反应者之间。这些数据表明,皮脂腺受雄激素刺激的程度各不相同,并支持痤疮终末器官反应的理论。
