Androgen Effects

Meaning

Androgen Effects describe the comprehensive physiological and clinical outcomes resulting from the action of androgen hormones, such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), on target tissues throughout the body. These effects are crucial for the development and maintenance of male secondary sexual characteristics, muscle mass, bone density, and libido in both sexes. They exert significant influence on mood, cognition, and erythropoiesis, contributing fundamentally to overall metabolic health.
