Hormonal risk factors and androgen and glucocorticoid dysregulation in Sjogren’s disease and non-Sjogren’s sicca
Participants with SjD were less likely to report hirsutism and had lower androstenedione and testosterone pre-menopause when compared with non-SjD sicca. The role of androgens in modulating salivary gland inflammation should be further investigated.
