Testosterone is the primary sex hormone and anabolic steroid synthesized primarily by Leydig cells in the testes of male, the ovary of female, and adrenal glands of both sexes. In male humans, testosterone affects a man’s appearance and sexual development. More specifically, testosterones play a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as testes and prostate, as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle and bone mass, and the growth of body hair.
Testosterones influence emotional well-being, sexual function, muscle mass and strength, energy, cardiovascular health, bone integrity, and cognitive ability. Testosterone tests help diagnose erectile dysfunction and infertility in males and the cause of virilization, hirsutism, infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (POCS) in females
