    Did you mean Androgen Metabolism?
    Glossary Androgen Metabolism

    process of producing, converting, and breaking down male hormones

    Androgen metabolism refers to the process by which the body produces, converts, and breaks down androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone. This process involves various enzymes that regulate the levels and activity of these hormones, impacting functions such as hair growth, muscle development, and reproductive health.
