The most potent of the naturally occurring androgens. It is the primary testicular hormone in man, although small quantities are produced by the adrenal cortex of both males and females and by the ovaries in females. Testosterone accelerates tissue growth, causes maturation of the male genitals and the production of sperm, stimulates the development of the secondary sex characteristics including growth of facial, axillary and genital hair, voice changes, shifts in hairline (resulting in many cases in baldness), muscle development and the redistribution of body fat. It also plays animportant role in aggression and dominance.
