    influence of male sex hormones on physical traits

    Androgenic effects refer to the influence of androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone, on the body. These effects include the development of male characteristics such as facial hair, deepening of the voice, and increased muscle mass. In both men and women, androgens can also impact hair growth patterns, potentially leading to conditions like androgenic alopecia (pattern baldness).
