Androgens

Androgens are a group of hormones that play an important role in the development and functioning of the reproductive system in men and women. They are also involved in regulating many other processes in the body, such as growth, metabolism, mood and behavior.

Androgens are produced in the gonads (testes in men and ovaries in women) and adrenal glands. In men, androgens are responsible for the development of male sexual characteristics, such as muscle development, facial and body hair growth, and sperm production. In women, androgens also play an important role in the formation of female sexual characteristics and in the regulation of the menstrual cycle.

There are two main classes of androgens: androsteroid and androgen. An androsteroid is a steroid hormone that is a precursor to androgens. It is produced in the adrenal glands and can be converted into androgenic hormones. Androgen is an active hormone that can act on target cells in the body.

One of the most well-known androgens is testosterone. Testosterone is the primary androgen in men, and its blood level determines the development of male sexual characteristics and sexual function. Low testosterone levels can lead to decreased libido, decreased muscle mass, and other problems in men.

Women have their own set of androgens, including estrogens, progesterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Estrogens and progesterones are the main sex hormones in women and play an important role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle, the development of the mammary glands and other processes in the body. DHT is an androgenic hormone produced in a woman's body. It may promote the development of male sexual characteristics in women, such as increased muscle mass and body hair growth.

In general, androgens play an important role in many processes in the human body.

Androgens are a type of hormone that is important for the male body. They are male sex hormones that regulate processes such as muscle growth and development, sperm production, sex drive, libido, etc.

Androgens are mainly synthesized in men in the gonads - the testicles. In women, the level of androgens can also be increased, which leads to phenomena such as gynecomastia, increased levels of the sex hormone testosterone and accelerated redistribution of adipose tissue to the mammary glands.

One of the most well-known androgens in men is testosterone. It is the main hormone in men, responsible for their strength, muscle mass and libido. Testosterone is produced in the male gonads and secreted by sperm. However, the amount of this hormone in different people can vary greatly: some people produce it
