Optimal Androgen Signaling

Meaning

Optimal androgen signaling is the precise physiological state where androgen hormones, such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), are present at concentrations and ratios that maximize their beneficial effects on muscle mass, bone density, libido, mood, and erythropoiesis. This state is achieved while simultaneously minimizing potential adverse effects through optimal receptor binding and metabolic clearance. This is a highly individualized clinical target that transcends simple reference range normalization, representing the key to maintaining vigor and anabolic drive throughout the lifespan.
