Pro-Androgenic Effects

Meaning

Pro-Androgenic Effects refer to the biological actions of a substance or intervention that promote or enhance the activity of androgens, the class of steroid hormones like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). These effects typically lead to anabolism, increased lean muscle mass, improved bone density, and the development or maintenance of male secondary sexual characteristics. Clinically, these effects are often sought in contexts like age-related hormone decline or performance optimization.
