Found the following at http://www.diagnose-me.com/cond/C621300.html under Recommendations and Treatments for high Testosterone Level: Hormone - Estrogen Replacement
"Low estrogens allow the circulating androgens and testosterone to be more freely available and thus stimulate cells more. Increasing the circulating estrogen in the blood by taking estrogens will increase the proteins that bind the androgens and help decrease the effects of all androgens, whether the levels are normal or excessive."
Also from http://www.drmirkin.com/women/1233.html
"Just taking Birth Control pills markedly lower a woman's blood levels of testosterone because the estrogen in birth control pills shuts down the brain that produces FSH the hormone that causes the ovaries to produce testosterone."
Not certain on the reliability of these sources, but either or both might be correct. So the higher your estrogen level, the lower your testosterone level will be? x

What is the target tissue in ovaries and the testes?
Are you asking, what is the target tissue for the hormones produced by the testes and ovaries? In that case, it would be estrogen and testosterone. Estrogen leads to secondary sex characteristics in girls during puberty, and testosterone does the same for boys. However, testosterone also increases muscle growth, which is why men are mostly stronger than women. While women also have testosterone production in there bodies, it is small in comparison to estrogen. With boys, they also have estrogen production, but it is usually less that testosterone. The caveat here is, fat also produces estrogen, so in very skinny girls, they can have a deficiency of estrogen, and this can lead to missed periods or late development.
What hormones is only used by males?
Testosterone is vital to a man’s health. Men have estrogen too, it’s just in much smaller quantities than women, so it plays less of a role. Estrogen levels rise in men around middle age as more testosterone is converted to estrogen, so that they experience more of the estrogen-like effects such as being more emotional (‘softer’ emotionally and physically).
