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
