Androgens

What are androgens and what are they used for?

 Androgens are a group of sex hormones. Testicles in males make androgens as do ovaries in females. Androgens such as testosterone end to be present in much higher levels in males and play a role in their traits and reproductive success. Females have testosterone, as well, however. Androgens in all genders assist with muscle development, bone density, red blood cell production, puberty, sexual desire, and functionality. Any individual may produce too much or too little androgens, with accompanying symptoms. Six primary types secreted by endocrine glands include: testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), androstenedione, androstenediol dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)—some rather challenging to pronounce without a lot of practice!
