or gets converted to 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and then binds to androgen receptors. Once bound, the receptor-hormone complex moves into the cell nucleus and binds to specific genes sequences on the cellular DNA called hormone response elements. This modifies the DNA transcription and synthesis of various proteins, thereby giving rise to the androgenergic effects exerted by testosterone. Testosterone may also be converted to the female sex hormone estradiol, the most important estrogen in female reproductive development and bone health.
