Androgen Conversion Efficiency

Meaning

Androgen Conversion Efficiency quantifies the biological effectiveness of the body’s enzymatic processes in transforming precursor hormones, like dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione, into more potent androgens such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This efficiency is a critical determinant of androgen bioavailability and subsequent biological effect at the cellular level. Variations in this metric significantly influence lean muscle mass, libido, energy levels, and overall hormonal balance in both sexes. A high efficiency indicates robust metabolic function.
