The main sex hormone (androgen) in men is called Testosterone. It is responsible for male physical characteristics. Although it is considered to be a "male" sex hormone, it is present in the blood of women as well. This test measures the amount of testosterone in the blood.
Testosterone is produced by special endocrine tissue (the Leydig cells) in the male testicles. It is also produced by the adrenal glands in both men and women and, in small amounts, by the ovaries in women.
In males, testosterone stimulates development of secondary sex characteristics, including enlargement of the penis, growth of body hair, muscle development, and a deepening voice. It is present in large amounts in males during puberty and in adult males to regulate the sex drive and maintain muscle mass. In women, testosterone is converted to estradiol, the main sex hormone in females.
