The Physiology of Testosterone: Understanding the Role of Androgen Receptors
The physiology of testosterone is complicated and involves not only the blood level of testosterone but also the sensitivity of androgen receptors./nPeople with more sensitive androgen receptors will experience testosterone-mediated effects at a lower blood concentration./nOn the other hand, individuals with less sensitive receptors will require higher blood levels of testosterone to achieve the same effects./nEquilibrium levels of testosterone are determined by a complex feedback mechanism in the body./nLooking at isolated blood tests is not sufficient to gauge the overall effects of testosterone.
