Andrology and the Biochemistry of Testosterone Metabolism

Testosterone metabolism extends beyond its synthesis in the testes. Peripheral conversion into active and erotic inactive metabolites significantly influences physiological outcomes.

Enzymatic activity in tissues such as adipose, liver, and prostate alters androgen availability and function. Imbalances in this metabolic process may contribute to reproductive dysfunction and systemic disease.

Understanding testosterone metabolism allows andrology to refine therapeutic strategies and improve hormonal regulation.
