Solution

The principal action of androgen is the development of secondary sexual characteristics. But along with this they influence the protein and carbohydrate metabolism. In males, when there is high secretion of androgens, the rate of protein synthesis increases in muscles resulting in the enlargement of muscles by the formation of muscular tissue. That is how androgens affects the metabolic functions in the body.
