It increases no. of RBCs. Man has 7 lac RBCs per cc mm more than woman.
Testosterone decreases growth of hair;men who don't have functional testis don't become bald.(But the final expression of baldness is after a tussle between secretion of testosterone and d genetic make-up of the individual).

What does pituitary gland have to do with male and female reproduction?
The pituitary gland plays a crucial role in both male and female reproduction. It produces hormones such as luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which are essential for the development and maturation of eggs in females and sperm in males. In females, LH triggers ovulation and the release of eggs, while FSH stimulates the growth and development of ovarian follicles. In males, LH stimulates the production of testosterone, while FSH promotes the production of sperm in the testes.
