Do serum androsterone conjugates differentiate between acne and hirsutism in hyperandrogenic women?
Altered peripheral metabolism in acne may favor the formation of A conjugates, which may help differentiate acne from hirsutism among hyperandrogenic women.
These data agree with previous studies supporting that the alpha adrenoceptor is important to the antinociceptive effect of clonidine in normal animals. Nerve injury alters this and results in a total reliance on alpha adrenoceptors.
