Hello there My name is Preston! Thank you for accepting me into your group. I look forward to meeting and learning with like-minded individuals.

Androgen receptors are proteins inside your cells that detect and respond to male sex hormones, mainly testosterone and DHT. Think of them like switches: when testosterone or DHT binds to the receptor, it activates signals that influence things like muscle growth, strength, libido, hair growth, and male sexual development. More androgen receptors = potentially greater cellular response to the same hormone levels
