Sex Hormones Tests Testosterone stimulates sperm production (spermatogenesis), and influences the development of male secondary sex characteristics. Overproduction of testosterone caused by testicular, adrenal, or pituitary tumors in the young male may result in precocious puberty.

Examining Male Infertility Males do not begin to produce sperm until puberty, when testosterone begins to exert its influence on overall male development and growth. Spermatogenesis is driven by testosterone production in the Leydig cells of the testes.

Does masturbation affect bodybuilding or muscle growth? Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid. In men, testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as the testis and prostate, as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle and bone mass, and the growth of body hair.

What are secondary sex characteristics? NEXT PAGENEXT. While primary sex characteristics are those that are present at birth, secondary sex characteristics are those that appear during puberty. These secondary sex characteristics are caused by hormones released at the time of puberty, which usually is around two years earlier in girls than in boys.

Acquired Causes of Secondary Hypogonadism in the Adult Male Hypogonadism in a male may be defined as a clinical syndrome that results from a decrease in either of the two major functions of the testes: sperm production or testosterone production. 1 When these abnormalities result from disease of the testes, it is called primary hypogonadism.

Estrogen and Testosterone Hormones Androgens help trigger the development of the testes and penis in the male fetus. They jump start the process of puberty and influence the development of facial, body and pubic hair, deepening of the voice, and muscle development, the male secondary sex characteristics.

It is necessary for the normal growth, development and function of the male sex organs and for secondary male sex characteristics. It is necessary for the growth of body hair, the development of bones and muscles, and it stimulates the production of red blood cells.

Doublesex Sex determination. The gene is expressed in both male and female flies and is subject to alternative splicing, producing the protein isoforms dsxf in females and the longer dsxm in males. The production of dsxf is caused by the presence of the female-specific version of the transformer (tra) gene.

- In males, the gonads are the testes. Their corresponding hormones  include:   Testosterone-This stimulates spermatogenesis, growth, and  maturation of sperm as well as the production of secondary sex  characteristics.  Inhibin-This hormone inhibits the secretion of follicle  stimulating hormone.     In males, the gonads are the testes. Their corresponding hormones  include:   Testosterone-This stimulates spermatogenesis, growth, and  maturation of sperm as well as the production of secondary sex  characteristics.
