Androgen Transport Efficiency

Meaning

Androgen Transport Efficiency refers to the effectiveness and rate at which androgenic hormones, primarily testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), are circulated in the bloodstream and delivered to target tissues where they exert their biological effects. This efficiency is a critical determinant of hormonal action at the cellular level, influencing processes like muscle protein synthesis, bone density maintenance, and libido. The clinical focus is on the proportion of bioavailable hormone relative to total hormone levels, which dictates true functional status.
