Method for finding novel active ingredients having androgen-type properties

摘要

Processes for evaluating androgenic properties of various compounds and/or compositions are described, wherein the processes comprise: (a) providing a culture of at least one male fibroblast, the at least one male fibroblast having a metabolic activity; (b) contacting the culture with a potential active component; and (c) determining the metabolic activity of the fibroblast against a standard.
