Adrenal glands in males release?
Adrenal glands produces four type of hormones: Catecholamine, Aldosterone, Cortisol and Androgens like Testosterone.
What are androgens and estrogens examples of?
Androgens and estrogens are hormones. Examples of androgens are testosterone, dihydroxytestosterone, and examples of estrogens include estradiol.
What gland releases androgens?
In men, luteinizing hormone stimulates the production of male sex hormones called androgens by the inerstitial cells of the testes. Testosterone is the most important androgen. Source: Human Anatomy. Sixth Edition.
Are the sex hormones from the adrenal cortex primarily androgens?
Yes, testosterone.
What is the name of that gland which gland is situated at the top of kidney?
This is the adrenal gland, which has three portions. The external cortex produces corticosteroids like cortisol, which help regulate the body's response to stress. The internal cortex produces mineralocorticoids, which help regulate the body's salt balance. The medulla produces androgens like testosterone and estrogen, which are important in producing secondary sex characteristics.
What cells are located between the seminiferous tubules and produce testosterone?
Interstitial cells that are found in the testis. They produce androgens one of which is testosterone.
What causes both male and female to have some amount of both sex hormones?
The adrenal gland of females produces some androgens. This affects libido. In males, estrogens are precursers to testosterone during its synthesis.
What is the role of the testies?
In humans, the role of the testes is to produce sperm and androgens (male sex hormones; testosterone).
What mammal produces the most testosterone?
the Bull Shark produces the most testosterone of anything on the planet.
What hormone increase sex drive in females?
There are a few, but my favorite answer is testosterone. The hormones actually interact.
Can women take testosterone?
Yes we do. Women have testosterone in their bodies just like men but not as much. Without it we would have no sexdrive at all.
Does more estrogen balance excess testosterone in women?
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
