Androgen Receptor Density

Process Cellular

How many androgen receptors a tissue actually has. It is not fixed: training raises it, and sustained high-dose exposure lowers it in some tissues, which is part of why results flatten and doses creep upward.

Androgen Receptor Density stimulates

Androgen Receptor

The receptor every anabolic-androgenic steroid is designed to hit. Binding moves it into the nucleus where it switches on genes for muscle protein synthesis, and in other tissues for hair loss, prostate growth and oil production.

Muscle Protein Synthesis

The rate at which muscle is built. Androgen receptor activation raises it and holds it raised, which is the entire point of the exercise.
