- Anandria — A rare medical and biological term designating the complete absence or severe deficiency of masculine characteristics or androgen hormones (testosterone) in a male individual. In clinical pathology, this structural or functional condition can be caused by genetic anomalies, testicular dysfunctions, or severe disorders of the hypothalamus-pituitary axis, leading to the non-development of secondary sexual characteristics and the appearance of eunuchoid physical traits.
- Androphen — A specialized term used in developmental genetics and phenotypic studies to designate a clearly masculinized morphological, physiological, or behavioral pattern, structurally determined by the interaction between sex-specific genes and androgen hormones.
- Androgen — A natural or synthetic hormonal substance (such as testosterone) that stimulates and controls the development and maintenance of male secondary sexual characteristics in vertebrates. As an adjective, it describes any factor, chemical compound, or structural physiological process that induces masculinization or exerts a direct influence on the male reproductive organs.
- Androgeny — A specialized scientific term designating the presence, development, or manifestation of masculine physical and constitutional characteristics in an individual, regardless of their biological sex. In a rare sociological or anthropological context, the concept describes the state of structural dominance of masculine elements or androgenic hormonal influences in the phenotypic evolution of a population.
- Andromimetic — Pertaining to factors, chemical compounds, behaviors, or psychological states that mimic, copy, or structurally reproduce male physical characteristics, hormonal manifestations, or behavioral patterns. In a rare clinical or pharmacological context, it describes non-steroidal substances that trigger physiological reactions similar to those produced by natural androgen hormones.
- Andropathy — A general or rare medical term used to designate any disease, organic disorder, or pathology exclusively affecting the male reproductive and urogenital system or determined by severe imbalances of male androgen hormones.
