Androgenic Signaling Parameters

Meaning

A set of quantifiable physiological metrics and biochemical markers used to assess the effectiveness and intensity of androgen hormone action at the cellular receptor level. These parameters extend beyond simple circulating hormone levels to include measures like free testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and the sensitivity or density of androgen receptors within target tissues. Clinical evaluation of these parameters is essential for diagnosing and managing conditions related to androgen excess or deficiency, which significantly impact musculoskeletal and psychological health.
