To stimulate testosterone production, the hypothalamus releases a substance to the pituitary gland called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). This hormone, in turn, causes the gland to produce two other hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), collectively known as gonadotropins. LH is released into the bloodstream where it travels to the male testes and triggers the production of testosterone from cholesterol. If this process continues until the testosterone level becomes too high, the pituitary slows the release of LH so production slows down. FSH is similarly involved in the increase and decrease in sperm production.

It is only in male.It is produced in testosterone.
What is the primary androgen produced by the male?
Testosterone is what makes us more masculine.
When do the sex organs develop rapidly?
In females, when stimulated by Luteinizing Hormone of the Pituitary Gland as it prepares for ovulation, the ovaries produce Estrogen. In males, the leydig cells produce testosterone also under the stimulation of pituitary hormones starting puberty.
