Androgen Metabolism Regulation

Meaning

Androgen Metabolism Regulation refers to the precise control over the synthesis, conversion, transport, and inactivation of androgens, such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, within the human physiology. This regulation is fundamental for maintaining gonadal function, secondary sexual characteristics, and anabolic processes. Dysregulation in this system often presents as clinical sequelae impacting energy, mood, and body composition. Clinical assessment requires evaluating steroid precursors and downstream metabolites.
