The author studies the location of the testosterone receptors in huamn hair follicles, by means of the isolation of the two most outstanding fractions of the pilosebaceous follicle, i.e., hair follicle and sebaceous gland. The two fractions were obtained by micro-dissection, homogenisation by separate, and isolation of the correspondig cytosol fraction. It was demonstrated that the two fractions possess the same binding activity against the andreogen tested.
