Testosterone
Testosterone is a steroid hormone (androgen) made by the testes in
males. Its production is stimulated and controlled by luteinizing
hormone (LH), which is manufactured in the pituitary gland. In males,
testosterone stimulates development of secondary sex characteristics,
including enlargement of the penis, growth of body hair and muscle, and a
deepening voice. It is present in large amounts in males during puberty
and in adult males to regulate the sex drive and maintain muscle mass.
Testosterone is also produced by the adrenal glands in both males and
females and, in small amounts, by the ovaries in females. In women,
testosterone is converted to estradiol, the main sex hormone in females.
