The specific adrenal hormones to look for would be DHEA and testosterone (yes, women produce some testosterone, just as men produce some estrogen ).

DHEA -- dehydroepiandrosterone -- is sort of a "master" hormone produced in the adrenal glands, which tells other glands to produce either testosterone or estrogen. As we age, for both men and women, there's less DHEA production. Low DHEA levels are associated with male-pattern baldness and may also be a factor for age-related hair loss in women too.
