Androgenic System Control

Meaning

This term denotes the clinical and physiological regulation of the body’s androgenic hormones, primarily testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and their interaction with target tissues. Effective control involves maintaining circulating hormone levels within an optimal, individualized range while managing the activity of peripheral enzymes like 5-alpha reductase and aromatase. The primary goal is to maximize the beneficial anabolic and psychological effects of androgens while minimizing potential adverse effects on prostate, hair, and cardiovascular health. It represents a precise balancing act within the endocrine system, crucial for both male and female health across the lifespan.
