About Testosterone

Testosterone - the principle male sex hormone, is a steroid hormone from the androgen group that is found in mammals, reptiles, birds, and other vertebrates. In humans, testosterone is primarily secreted in the testicles of males and in the ovaries of females, although small amounts are also secreted by the adrenal glands.

In men, testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as the testis and prostate as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle, bone mass, and the growth of body hair. In addition, testosterone is essential for health and well-being as well as the prevention of osteoporosis, muscle loss, and cognitive decline. In adult human males, on average, the plasma concentration of testosterone is about 7-8 times greater than the concentration of adult human females' plasma, but as the metabolic consumption of testosterone in males is greater, the daily production is about 20 times greater in men. Females are more sensitive to the hormone.
