This. The apocrine glands are more dense in those areas and have more reactive androgen and estrogen receptors. They also may be more dense in steroidogenesis enzymes which change cholesterol/other steroids into other compounds.
A common effect of anabolic steroids is a massive change to your armpit smell.
