Did you mean Androgen Activity?

Glossary Androgen Activity

effects of male sex hormones on body tissues

Androgen activity refers to the effects that androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone, have on the body. These hormones bind to specific receptors in various tissues, influencing characteristics such as hair growth, muscle mass, and the development of male secondary sexual characteristics. In the context of hair, increased androgen activity can lead to conditions like androgenic alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern baldness.
