Chemically estriadol and testosterone are remarkably similar, differing only in a methyl group and a carbonyl group. In function however they are responsible for every difference seen between males and females.
Testosterone is involved in:
Greater bone density
Larger organ size
Higher muscle mass
Thicker hair growth
Wider shoulder bones and rib cage
Larger voice box (thus deeper voice)
Development of male sexual organs
Aggression and dominance
Estrogen is involved in:
Breast development
Nurturing/maternal behavior
Development of female sexual organs
Increase in fat tissue, particularly around the thighs, hips and breasts
Decelerated height growth
Reduced muscle mass
Wider pelvic bone
Growth of the uterine lining
In pregnancy, suppressed ovulation
Water retentions
Testosterone is a hormone in men (although women do have some). Causes puberty in males i.e growth, genital development, muscle development, change in voice. Also in charge of arousal.
Estrogen is a hormone in women (although men do have some). Causes puberty in women i.e. development of breasts, pubic hair etc. Causes development of ovaries etc
Estrogen and testosterone are classified as steroids. Estrogen and testosterone are present in both men and women, but at different levels.
what are gonads what is the difference between androgen and estrogen?
estrogen is formed by the granulosa cells of the follicle. Theca interna cells contain leutinizing hormone receptors that convert LH into testosterone. Granulosa cells contain testosterone receptors that convert testosterone to estrogen. These are the basic steps for the production of estrogen.
No, testosterone and estrogen have the same number of carbon atoms (19).
No
Your estrogen & testosterone will plummet & you will have full Menopausal symptoms.
Testosterone and estrogen dont stop puberty. The levels just decrease so there is no more growth.
yes males and females have both testosterone and estrogen. it depends how it's done.
The male hormone is Testosterone. Estrogen is the female hormone but women also have some Testosterone and that is what makes them aroused.
Yes it has a compound that slows the transformation of testosterone into estrogen.

They are lipids.
