Difference between Androgen-dependent condition and Antiandrogen

Androgen-dependent condition vs. Antiandrogen

An androgen-dependent condition, disease, disorder, or syndrome, is a medical condition that is, in part or full, dependent on, or is sensitive to, the presence of androgenic activity in the body. Antiandrogens, also known as androgen antagonists or testosterone blockers, are a class of drugs that prevent androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from mediating their biological effects in the body.

Androgen-dependent condition and Antiandrogen have 32 things in common (in Unionpedia): Abiraterone acetate, Acne, Androgen, Androgen deprivation therapy, Androgen insensitivity syndrome, Androgen receptor, Antigonadotropin, Benign prostatic hyperplasia, Bicalutamide, Cetrorelix, Cyproterone acetate, Drug, Dutasteride, Finasteride, Gonadotropin-releasing hormone, Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue, Hidradenitis suppurativa, Hirsutism, Hyperandrogenism, Hypersexuality, Leuprorelin, Medroxyprogesterone acetate, Megestrol acetate, Paraphilia, Pattern hair loss, Polycystic ovary syndrome, Precocious puberty, Prostate cancer, Receptor antagonist, Seborrhoeic dermatitis, ..., Spironolactone, 5α-Reductase inhibitor.
