<span>Testosterone achieves his effect by binding to his androgen receptor (nuclear). Because testosterone is steroid hormone (derived from cholesterol), it has a possibility to free diffuse through the cell membrane. When testosterone binds, the receptor undergoes a structural change which allows it to move into the cell nucleus and dimerize. Receptor dimer than binds directly to the specific sequence of the DNA called hormone response element (HRE) which results in regulation of gene expression.</span>

Testosterone functions inside a cell by binding with a receptor protein that enters the nucleus and activates specific genes. Testosterone is the principle male sex hormones in mammals, birds and other vertebrates. Its effects are exerted by; Testosterone can activate the androgen receptor itself or after conversion to 5 alpha dihydrotestosterone by the enzyme 5 alpha reductase.

Which cardiovascular condition is known as the "silent killer" because it usually presents no overt symptoms?
baherus [9]

The cardiovascular condition with no overt symptoms and known as the "silent killer" is the hypertension.

Blood pressure is recorded in two numbers. The upper limit is the systolic pressure and the lower limit is diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the maximum pressure at which the heart pumps the blood to the different parts of the body and it is 120 mm/Hg. Diastolic pressure is the minimum pressure in the arteries during the relaxation of the heart and it is 80 mm/Hg. The normal blood pressure is given by 120/80 mmHg.

Hypertension, also known as the high blood pressure is a condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is constantly high or elevated. Blood pressure with a value higher than 140/90 mm/Hg is considered to be hypertension. It is a silent killer because it normally does not exhibit any distinctive symptoms. The most common symptoms of hypertension are head ache, problems with vision, fatigue which are often ignored and remain untreated. This untreated, long-term hypertension is one of the important causes of cardiac diseases, renal failure, stroke and other fatal conditions.

Thus, no overt symptoms and the impact of hypertension associated with many life-threatening diseases makes it a "silent killer".
