THE development and secretory activity of the human sebaceous glands are dependent upon stimulation by androgens (Hamilton, 1941; Rony and Zakon, 1943; Strauss et al., 1962). Thus, measurements of sebaceous gland secretion have potential value in determining androgenic responses. This report will discuss utilization of the sebaceous glands in man for assaying androgens, as well as review information available to date on the effect of anti‐androgenic compounds on the human sebaceous gland.
