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.
