Background The androgen receptor (AR) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors. Androgen activation of AR regulates prostate growth, bone, muscle mass, and spermatogenesis. ligands The ligands that have a high affinity to the AR are Testosterone (T) and Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Testosterone is a cholesterol derivative, this hormone helps facilitate male maturation and development. Dihydrotestosterone is a tissue metabolite of testosterone and is significantly more potent then testosterone.
