    body's responsiveness to male hormones like testosterone

    Androgen sensitivity refers to how responsive an individual's body is to androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone.

In conditions like androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), increased sensitivity to androgens can lead to hair thinning and loss.
