What produces the androgens like testosterone?

Androgens like testosterone are primarily produced in the testes in males and in smaller amounts in the ovaries in females. The adrenal glands also contribute to androgen production in both sexes. The synthesis of testosterone is regulated by luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, which stimulates Leydig cells in the testes to produce the hormone. Additionally, the hypothalamus releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which prompts the pituitary gland to release LH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
