No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between sebum excretion rate and the following factors:

* Hormone levels (testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate)
* Expression of 5-α-reductase type 1 (a protein in sebaceous glands that transforms a hormone (testosterone) into another one that strongly stimulates sebum production)
* Diet
* Sun and ultraviolet light exposure.
* Facial washing routine
* Sleep patterns (time when you start sleeping and total sleep time)

This study will analyze the relationship between sebum excretion rate and the various factors that may influence it in approximately 40 subjects. It will be conducted in one center located in Montreal. All devices are known and have already been used in the past.
