These are the major sex hormones. Progesterone is a 21-carbon steroid female sex hormone, secreted largely by the corpus luteum and is required for the maintenance of pregnancy. On the other hand, Testosterone is a steroid male sex hormone, secreted by the testes and is responsible for the development of secondary male characteristics.
