It explores the receptors' locations, their unique cellular positioning, and the process of androgen binding and gene activation. The script further discusses factors influencing receptor density and sensitivity, such as androgen levels, exercise, cortisol, and nutrient intake, and warns against certain compounds in foods and supplements that may impede Androgen receptor function. The importance of maintaining a balance in hormone levels for optimal health is emphasized.
Takeaways
- 🔬 Androgen receptors are crucial for testosterone to exert its effects, such as muscle growth and bone health, and are found throughout the body with concentrations in muscle, bone, testes, and brain tissues.
- 🔍 Androgen receptors are located in the cytoplasm, not on the cell surface, requiring hormones to pass through the cell wall to bind to them.
- 💡 In the absence of androgens, Androgen receptors are bound to heat shock proteins, which stabilize them until they can bind to androgens and activate genes within the cell nucleus.
- 🚫 Proper functioning of Androgen receptors is more critical than the amount of testosterone present in the bloodstream, as non-functional receptors can't utilize high levels of testosterone.
- 🏋️ Exercise and sauna use, which increase heat shock protein expression, may play a role in stabilizing Androgen receptors, though more research is needed.
- 🔑 Androgen receptor density, expression, and stability are key factors influencing their functionality, with high expression and stability leading to higher receptor density.
- 🔄 Androgen receptor sensitivity is determined by affinity (the likelihood of androgen binding) and transcriptional activity (the efficiency of genetic activation post-binding).
- 🌡️ Maintaining healthy levels of testosterone is important for optimal Androgen receptor function, as both excessively high and low levels can negatively impact receptor health.
- 🏃♂️ Acute increases in testosterone through exercise and avoiding ejaculation may positively affect Androgen receptor function, although long-term effects are not fully understood.
- 🤔 Cortisol, typically associated with stress, may actually improve Androgen receptor function acutely, but chronic stress can have detrimental effects.
- 🍽️ Adequate caloric and nutrient intake, including specific vitamins and minerals, is essential for maintaining optimal levels of hormones like leptin, insulin, IGF-1, and growth hormone, which in turn support Androgen receptor health.
Q & A
What is the primary role of Androgen receptors in the body?
-Androgen receptors are responsible for binding to androgens like testosterone, DHT, and androstenedione to carry out their biological functions such as increasing muscle mass, improving bone health, stimulating sperm production, and maintaining secondary male sex characteristics.
Where are Androgen receptors typically located within the cell?
-Androgen receptors are located in the cytoplasm of the cell, unlike neurotransmitter receptors which are found on the outside of cells. Hormones must pass through the cell wall to reach and bind to the Androgen receptors.
What happens to Androgen receptors in the absence of androgens?
-In the absence of androgens, most Androgen receptors are typically bound to heat shock proteins that help stabilize the receptor. The receptor then dimerizes, exposing a nuclear localization site, and travels to the nucleus of the cell to activate and transcribe various genetic factors.
How does the level of testosterone impact Androgen receptor function?
-High levels of testosterone can increase the transcriptional activity, affinity, and overall health of the Androgen receptors, which allows them to persist longer and increases their density. However, extremely high levels of testosterone, such as from injections, can negatively impact Androgen receptor function.
What is the relationship between exercise and Androgen receptor stability?
-Exercise is known to increase the expression of heat shock proteins in the body, which are important for stabilizing Androgen receptors. This suggests that exercise may play a foundational role in maintaining Androgen receptor function.
How does the density of Androgen receptors affect their functionality?
-Density refers to the number of receptors in a given location within the body. Higher density levels indicate more receptors, which can lead to higher levels of androgen signaling and vice versa.
What factors influence Androgen receptor sensitivity?
-Androgen receptor sensitivity is influenced by factors such as affinity—the likelihood that testosterone will bind to the receptor—and transcriptional activity—the activity that happens once a ligand like testosterone binds to the receptor.
How does cortisol impact Androgen receptor function?
-Cortisol, particularly in acute stress situations, appears to improve Androgen receptor function by modulating hormonal transduction pathways and reducing inflammation. However, chronic stress and high cortisol levels can have negative effects.
What role do insulin, IGF-1, and leptin play in Androgen receptor health?
-Insulin, IGF-1, and leptin, which are released in response to adequate caloric and nutrient intake, appear to have a positive impact on Androgen receptor health, density, and efficiency primarily by improving the stability of the receptors.
How can growth hormone potentially improve Androgen receptor function?
-Growth hormone, released in response to low blood glucose levels, has a secondary purpose of preserving important bodily structures. This preservation may indirectly support Androgen receptor function by signaling the body to prioritize sexual health during times of energy availability.
What are some common compounds found in food sources that may block Androgen receptors?
-Compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, isoflavones, lignin, curcumin, EGCG, resveratrol, quercetin, berberine, genistein, and others found in common food sources have been shown to potentially block Androgen receptors, especially when consumed as supplements.
Outlines
🔬 Androgen Receptor Function and Optimization
The first paragraph emphasizes the importance of Androgen receptor function in male hormone health, explaining that the effectiveness of testosterone depends on these receptors. It discusses the biological roles of Androgen receptors, such as muscle mass increase, bone health, sperm production, and maintenance of male sex characteristics. The paragraph also explains the unique cellular location of these receptors and how they operate, including their binding to heat shock proteins in the absence of androgens, their subsequent dimerization, and their role in gene activation within the cell nucleus. The summary highlights the idea that optimal Androgen receptor function may be more critical than the levels of testosterone present in the bloodstream.
💪 Enhancing Androgen Receptor Density and Sensitivity
This paragraph delves into the specifics of Androgen receptor function, focusing on receptor density and sensitivity. Density refers to the number of receptors in a given location, which affects the level of androgen signaling. Receptor expression and stability are key factors influencing density. Sensitivity is determined by the receptor's affinity for androgens and its transcriptional activity, which measures the receptor's response once bound to an androgen. The paragraph suggests that improving these qualities can enhance overall Androgen receptor health and functionality, and it touches on the hormonal pathways that can augment Androgen receptor functionality, such as the positive response of Androgen receptors to androgens like testosterone.
🏋️♂️ Hormonal Pathways and Lifestyle Factors Influencing Androgen Receptor Function
The third paragraph explores how hormonal pathways and lifestyle factors such as exercise and ejaculation avoidance can impact Androgen receptor function. It mentions the acute increase in testosterone levels due to these activities and hypothesizes their potential positive effects on Androgen receptors. The paragraph also discusses the role of cortisol, which contrary to common belief, may improve Androgen receptor function acutely by modulating hormonal transduction pathways and reducing inflammation. However, it cautions against chronic stress, which can have negative effects.
🍽️ Nutritional Intake and Hormones Affecting Androgen Receptor Health
This paragraph discusses the impact of nutritional intake on Androgen receptor health, focusing on hormones like insulin, IGF-1, and leptin, which are released in response to adequate caloric and nutrient intake. It suggests that these hormones improve Androgen receptor stability and density. The importance of specific nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, and certain vitamins and minerals that can influence hormone release and Androgen receptor functioning is highlighted. The paragraph also mentions the potential of EL carnitine to increase Androgen receptor density and the role of growth hormone in preserving bodily structures during catabolic states.
🚫 Compounds That May Inhibit Androgen Receptor Function
The final paragraph warns about various compounds found in common foods and supplements that may block the Androgen receptor. It lists several such compounds, including polyphenols, flavonoids, isoflavones, and others, which have shown in vitro to reduce or block Androgen receptor activity. While there is not enough evidence to completely avoid these compounds, the paragraph advises caution, especially with supplements containing them, to ensure optimal Androgen receptor function and overall androgenic signaling in the body.

Transcripts
one of the most critical and often
overlooked aspects of male hormone
health is Androgen receptor function and
the reason for this is that it literally
doesn't matter how much testosterone you
have if your Androgen receptors The
receptors that testosterone binds to to
carry out its biological effect aren't
operating properly and so in this video
we're going to be taking a deep dive
into what Androgen receptors are how
they function and how to optimize their
functionality so uh let's go ahead and
dive in
Androgen receptors are essentially The
receptors that androgens like
testosterone DHT and andren aione bind
to to carry out their biological
function things like increases in muscle
mass improvements in bone health
stimulation of sperm production as well
as simple maintenance of secondary male
sex characteristics now generally
speaking Androgen receptors are found
throughout the entirety of the body and
various tissues however they're
primarily concentrated in tissues like
muscle tissue bone tissue um as well as
the test
and the brain and in other tissues that
are heavily dependent on Androgen
signaling for proper Health now
interestingly enough Androgen receptors
unlike neurotransmitter receptors are
not actually found on the outside of
cells they're rather found in this
cytoplasm of the cell where hormones
must pass through the cell wall and into
the cytoplasm of the cell in order to
reach and bind to the Androgen receptors
now in the absence of androgens most
Androgen receptors throughout the
entirety of the body are typically bound
to a protein known as heat shock
proteins that help to stabilize the
receptor in the absence of androgens and
after this the receptor then dimerizes
exposing a nuclear uh localization site
uh and then travels to the nucleus of
the cell where the receptor then um
activates and and transcribes various
genetic factors and activates and
deactivates various genes now without
proper functioning of the Androgen
receptors it literally does not matter
how much testosterone you have uh you
can have extremely high levels of
testosterone but if your Androgen
receptors are not functioning properly
you will have uh low Androgen signaling
and symptoms of low testosterone and on
the flip side of this it's entirely
possible to actually have extremely low
levels of testosterone but if your
Androgen receptors are functioning at an
extremely high efficiency uh you it's
actually possible to have absolutely no
uh symptoms of low testosterone and is
also why um there's actually a really
good argument to be made that Androgen
receptor function is actually more
important than the levels of
testosterone that you have in your
bloodstream now I'm not going to spend a
ton of time talking about this here just
because we have a lot to get through but
it is worth noting that because heat
shock proteins are the kind of like
default liend that is attached to the
Androgen receptor and helps to stabilize
the receptor in the absence of androgens
um there's a very strong argument to be
made that things like exercise and and
the sauna which do increase the
expression of heat shock proteins in the
body may have a very uh fundamental and
foundational role in stabilizing um
Androgen receptors now this hasn't been
extensively looked at in any research
that I'm aware of yet however because of
the uh critical functioning role of heat
shock proteins at the Androgen receptor
it's entirely possible that heat shock
proteins are actually one of the most uh
potent ways to improve the functioning
of the andren receptor now when it comes
to understanding Androgen receptor
function and efficiency there are a
couple of definitions that I do want to
run through here very quickly uh just so
we can kind of get a grasp of how
Androgen receptors function before we
dive into how to improve their
functionality and the first one I want
to talk about is simply Androgen
receptor density now density refers to
the number of receptors in a given
location within the body and so when you
have more receptors in a given location
you're going to have a higher density
level and if you have lower levels of uh
receptors in a given uh location or
space you're going to have a lower
density level now when it comes to
density there's also a couple of other
terms that are worth noting here just
because they so potently influence
receptor density and one is uh the
receptor expression as well as the
receptor uh stability now receptor
expression simply refers to how many
Androgen receptors are being produced if
you have a higher level of expression
you're going to going to have a higher
number of Androgen receptors that are
being produced and then when it comes to
stability stability refers to Simply the
stability of The receptors the
likelihood that that receptor is going
to degrade over time and so if you have
a high level of expression and a high
level of stability you're going to end
up having a high density of Androgen
receptors now when it comes to Androgen
receptor sensitivity sensitivity
obviously refers to the sensitivity of
the receptor to things like testosterone
um and is somewhat of a measure of the
likelihood that testosterone will bind
to something like an androgen receptor
and there's a couple of different uh
factors here as well that influence
Androgen receptor sensitivity the first
being affinity and the second being
transcriptional activity now receptor
Affinity refers to specifically the
Affinity of the receptor the likelihood
that testosterone will bind to the
receptor and the higher the AFF of the
receptor the higher the likelihood that
it will bind to an androgen if an
androgen is present and then when it
comes to transcriptional activity in
reference to the sensitivity of the
Androgen receptor the transcriptional
activity is a measurement or a um a
theoretical measurement in the very
least of the activity that happens once
a liand like testosterone or DHT binds
to the Androgen receptor the activity of
the receptor it going to the nucleus and
activating various genetic factors How
likely or how strong is that activity
and so when you have high Affinity
receptors that have a high
transcriptional activity a higher
likelihood of transcribing genetics
after being activated you end up having
a high sensitivity receptor and so if
you're trying to improve the overall
health functionality and efficiency of
your Androgen receptors these are the
two qualities that we're going to be
trying to address the density and the
sensitivity
and there are a handful of ways of doing
this however in this video what I want
to do is uh more so focus on the
hormonal Pathways that augment Androgen
receptor functionality and the first one
we're going to talk about here is
obviously androgens now within normal
levels higher levels of androgens
actually tend to increase Androgen
receptor functioning which is kind of
strange given that most receptors in the
body operate on a negative feedback loop
whereby when uh uh Li in the body
increases in its activity the activity
of the receptor tends to decrease to um
allow the body to reach some sort of
state of homeostasis however within the
context of androgens specifically and
androgen receptors Androgen receptors
actually tend to respond positively to
androgens like testosterone and so what
I mean by that is that when testosterone
levels are high you will typically see a
higher level of Androgen receptors and
the reason for that is when testosterone
binds to Androgen receptors it increases
the uh the transcriptional activity it
increases the Affinity increases the
overall health of the Androgen receptor
which allows it to stick around for
longer and eventually increases the
density of the Androgen receptors as
well in a particular area and so
generally speaking if you want properly
functioning Androgen receptors one of
the best things that you can do is to
have healthy levels of testosterone
however it's worth noting here that this
trend doesn't continue on forever
indefinitely if you start injecting
testosterone for instance it actually
starts to have a negative impact on um
Androgen receptor functioning and on the
flip side of this when you have
extremely low levels of testosterone you
will typically also have uh low
functioning Androgen receptors and so
the key when it comes to um optimizing
Androgen receptor function is just to
Simply have healthy levels of
testosterone not too high and not too
low if your levels are too low for too
long or too high for too long you will
end up having a negative impact on your
Androgen receptors now if you're
interested in taking a super deep dive
into how to naturally optimize
testosterone levels I do have an entire
video on this that I'll link at the end
of this video however there are a couple
of other things I do want to mention in
this context and that is exercise and
the avoidance of ejaculation and the
reason for that is that these activities
or lack of activities however you want
to uh uh categorize them have been shown
to potently and acutely increased
testosterone levels now in the hormone
optimization space we typically don't
look at these activities um as something
to meaningfully increase testosterone
levels over the long ha because of how
acute the effects of these activities
are however um it is entirely possible
uh that these acute spikes in
testosterone levels after um exercise
and because of a lack of ejaculation
might actually have an extremely potent
effect on Androgen receptors now um
again this hasn't been extensively
looked at yet in any clinical setting
however because increases in um
testosterone levels at least acutely and
within the normal physiological range do
appear to improve Androgen receptor
function funing it's entirely possible
that these activities can in fact
improve Androgen receptor health and
function now because testosterone levels
are so important to overall health as
well as Androgen receptor Health it can
be extremely helpful to keep track of
your testosterone levels and measure
your testosterone levels over a long
period of time and is is also why
today's video is sponsored by let's get
checked now let's get checked has been a
sponsor of this channel for years now
and the reason for that is because of
how awesome their test testosterone test
is it's an atome testosterone test that
they literally send directly to your
doorstep where you get to collect your
sample at home send it back to them they
analyze your test and then will actually
give you your results through their
online portal just within a few days and
so if you've never had your testosterone
levels checked before or it's been a
while since you've had your testosterone
levels checked make sure to check out
the link down below for 25% off of an
atome testosterone test now the next
hormonal pathway that appears to
influence Androgen receptor function is
cortisol but not in the way that you
might think that it does uh cortisol
typically gets a really bad wrap in the
hormone space for being the hormone that
triggers the stress response which is
extremely true and when cortisol levels
are chronically High it does tend to
suppress uh testosterone levels since
cortisol and testosterone share similar
precursors and actually share this same
precursor in the body however cortisol
appears to actually improve Androgen
receptor function which is extremely
counterintuitive now cortisol appears to
do this by modulating various hormonal
transduction Pathways in the body as
well as reducing inflammation which does
tend to have a positive impact on
Androgen receptor functioning however
the main point that I want to make here
is that cortisol actually acutely
speaking appears to have a fairly
anabolic and androgenic effect aute
bounce of stress not chronic but acute
bounce of stress actually appear to one
one trigger testosterone release as well
as improve Androgen receptor functioning
and it's only when um uh the acute
stress becomes chronic stress that you
actually end up running into um side
effects from elevated cortisol levels
acutely speaking rises in cortisol are
actually associated with an increase in
testosterone not a decrease as well as
an improvement in Androgen receptor
functioning and so it's actually really
important that we as guys intentionally
engage in stressful situations like
exercise and work a as a means of
activating the cortisol pathway
activating the release of testosterone
as well as um improving the
functionality of the Androgen receptors
but it's also really important to also
figure out ways of mitigating that
stress reducing stress level so that
acute stress that you're intentionally
putting yourself under doesn't become
chronic stress now what's interesting
here is that this idea that acute stress
is actually good and beneficial for
testosterone levels and androgen
receptor functioning is actually
supported uh by the fact that the
neurotransmitters associated with the
stress response also appear to have a
Bene a beneficial effect on testosterone
levels and androgen receptor functioning
things like dopamine things like
norepinephrine as well as glutamate all
appear to have a beneficial effect on
Androgen receptor functioning as well as
being involved with the stress response
and so so while chronic stress is a
really bad thing and chronic elevations
in dopamine nor edrine glutamate and
cortisol are not good not healthy uh for
your body whatsoever acute releases of
these neurotransmitters and hormones do
in fact appear to be beneficial for
Androgen receptor functioning now the
next hormonal pathway that I want to
talk about here is actually a set of
hormones that have very similar
functions so I'm kind of going to just
group them here together and that is
insulin igf1 and LEP now the reason I'm
grouping these hormones together is
because they all are released in
response to adequate caloric intake as
well as to a lesser extent carbohydrates
and protein now leptin igf-1 and Insulin
all appear to have a very positive
impact on Androgen receptor Health
density and efficiency and the reason
for this is primarily by improving the
stability of The receptors because
leptin igf-1 and Insulin all are at
least in response to high chloric intake
and high nutrient intake um it makes
sense that these hormones would have a
positive impact on stabilizing the
proteins that are found in the Androgen
receptor for the purpose of improving
their stability and
density now if you're trying to
intentionally optimize and increase the
levels of these hormone hormones by far
the most important factor to pay
attention to here is your caloric intake
and your nutrient intake because these
hormones are released in a response to
adequate amounts of calories and
adequate amounts of nutrients if you're
not getting enough calories and
nutrients you're going to have hinder
hindered levels of leptin insulin and
igf1 that's going to have a negative
impact on your Androgen receptors
however it's also worth noting here that
there's also a handful of very specific
nutrients that appear to have an
independent and notable impact on these
hormone levels independent of caloric
intake and those would be things like
protein um uh carbohydrates as well
carbohydrates are very potent at
stimulating insulin protein is extremely
potent at stimulating the release of
igf-1 as well as leptin carbohydrates
and fat also are extremely potent at
increasing leptin levels uh but there's
also some very specific uh vitamins and
minerals that have been shown to uh one
improve the release of these hormones as
well as influence Androgen receptor
functioning through those mechanisms and
those would be things like zinc
magnesium vitamin D omega-3 fatty acids
vitamin A and there's also a handful of
other vitamins that have been shown to
influence these metabolic pathways and
so one of the things that's really worth
understanding here is that your body
does tend to prioritize reproduction
things like testosterone production
sperm production Androgen receptor
health
when you have adequate amounts of food
and nutrients and so if you are either
lacking caloric intake or any one of the
particular nutrients that affect um
Androgen uh health and androgen receptor
uh functioning there will be a reduction
in Androgen receptor Health as well as a
reduction in leptin levels insulin
levels and igf1 levels and so again if
you're trying to optimize Androgen
receptor fun functioning through
optimizing leptin insulin and igf-1 the
main thing to really pay attention to
here is to make sure that you're getting
enough calories and enough nutrients and
um this would also apply to things like
El carnitine ELC carnitine is really one
of the only uh supplements and nutrients
that has hardcore clinical data to
support the fact that it can increase
Androgen receptor density and we really
don't understand entirely why this is
quite yet however one of the leading uh
uh theories is simply that carnitine is
able to signify to the body that there
is enough ATP enough energy enough
calories coming in and enough nutrients
coming in to support um uh energy
metabolism in the body which then allows
the body to
prioritize um Sexual Health the
production of testosterone as well as
the receptors that testosterone binds to
now another hormonal pathway that
appears to increase and improve Androgen
receptor function is growth hormone and
I find this one to be particularly
interesting because of the fact that
growth hormone unlike insulin igf-1 and
uh leptin is a counterregulatory hormone
which simply means that it's released in
response to low levels of blood glucose
and the primary uh point of of growth
hormone being released by the body is to
mobilize fatty acids and amino acids for
the purpose of gluconeogenesis and
increasing the availability of ATP in
the body however the secondary purpose
of growth hormone is to hold on to the
structures in the body that are most
important while you're in a chloric
state when you're in a chloric state
your body is going to metabolize its own
bodily structures for ATP for glucose
and what growth hormone does is to
signify to very specific structures in
the body to not do that it prevents the
breakdown of things like ligaments
joints bones and tendons while you're in
a chloric uh deficit now when it comes
to optimizing growth hormone levels the
primary thing that you want to keep in
mind here is to consume enough protein
and specifically the amino acids
Arginine glutamine and glycine these
three specific amino acids appear to
have a fairly potent effect on growth
hormone release and when taken and
supplemented with do appear to increase
growth hormone levels and so consuming
enough protein just in general does
appear to increase growth hormone levels
but increasing the intake of those
specific amino acids appears to increase
it even further and so consuming these
things directly before bed or at least a
couple of hours before bed um may
actually uh help to improve the
pulsatile release of growth hor uh
hormone while you sleep and secondarily
improve Androgen receptor function as
well now the last thing I want to talk
about before we close this video out
very briefly is compounds that actually
have been shown that are found in very
common uh food sources to actually block
the Androgen receptor and these would be
things like
polyphenols flavonoids isoflavones
lignin curcumin kakin egcg Resveratrol
quatin dim berberine genistin
sulfurane marijuana lysene and the list
literally goes on and on and on there
are a ton of different compounds that
are found in very very common foods that
have been shown at the very least in inv
vitro setting to reduce or or actually
block the Androgen receptor and so
though there isn't enough evidence quite
yet to definitively say that you
shouldn't consume them for the purpose
of maximizing Androgen receptor function
there is enough evidence to S suggest
that you should be cautious of your
intake of some of these plant foods and
supplements now I will say in general
polyphenols don't cross the gut barrier
very well and so this may not be a
practical concern with food products
that are high in some of these
polyphenols however it may be enough
evidence to at least caution the use of
these as supplements and so uh I did
want to clo at least close this video
out with with mentioning that there are
a ton of different compound supplements
and food products that may actually
hinder completely hinder Androgen
receptor function and have a very
negative impact on overall androgenic
signaling in the body but other than
that guys that's pretty much all I have
for this video so if you have any
questions uh feel free to leave a
