Androgenic signaling influences protein metabolism, endocrine feedback and erythropoietic processes.

Red-cell production depends on marrow function and disease cause, so a pharmacological effect in selected anemias is not evidence of a universal increase in oxygen delivery or better athletic outcomes in healthy people.
