What happens if a men take both estrogen and testosterone?
I doubt anything significant would happen. The effects of the hormones would likely cancel each other out, especially as both hormones are already present in the male body. However, sometimes large amounts of hormones are converted by the male body into only testosterone or only estrogen. For example, if a male bodybuilder takes anabolic steroids (which are basically testosterone and other muscle-building hormones), he can start to have body feminisation, like development of breast tissue, shrinking of the penis and testicles, loss of muscle mass, etc.Another answer:It would likely cause their own body to stop making hormones due to the feedback loop to the brain (hypothalamus-pituitary axis), and likely feminize them while maintaining some masculine features. Excess testosterone gets converted to estrogen in the body due to the aromatase enzyme.By the way, the ovaries in the female body don't exactly produce estrogen, but produce DHEA and aromatase enzyme. Those become estrogen in the blood.

The hormones in girls responsible for developing female characteristics are?
Everyone has hormones, not just girls. All a hormone is is a chemical released by cells in the body, and there something like 40 or 50 hormones in the bodies of both genders. If you want to know why girls have certain hormones (especially ones classified as estrogen), then the answer still is even males have estrogen, just as females have testosterone. Females, however, have much more estrogen than males, and that is because it is necessary to regulate their menstrual cycle and in the formation of breasts. These high levels of estrogen are also what makes women sometime moodier than males, and is also responsible for many other characteristics of females, but it is also vital to the health of both males and females.

I am not sure if this question is worded correctly. Should it be "do lipids function as hormones?" Cholesterol is the basis for forming both male and female sex hormones. Testosterone in males and Estrogen and Progesterone in females.
How does estrogen out the uterus?
Estrogen is probably the most widely known and discussed of all hormones. The term "estrogen" actually refers to any of a group of chemically similar hormones; estrogenic hormones are sometimes mistakenly referred to as exclusively female hormones when in fact both men and women produce them. However, the role estrogen plays in men is not entirely clear.
