Testosterone

Although females do produce a small amount of testosterone, it is the main male sexual hormone. Men produce several times more testosterone than women. It is responsible for growth of bone and muscle, production of body hair, and development of male reproductive tissues.

How do you treat too much testosterone in males?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If a man has his testicles removed, testosteerone production will stop. Their are anti-androgens designed to surpress testosterone, but since this hormone is naturally found in men and women it will only completely stop after the remove or destruction of the gonades. Be advised that removing this hormone will also have consiquences on your health such as a lose of bone mass, blood complications, heart issues or diabetes. An artificial hormone (rather lab created testosterone or estragen) will be required for the rest of your life do to the lose of natural hormonal production.

How are estrogen progesterone and testosterone involve in reproduction?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Estrogens are essential regulators of fertility and bind to estrogen receptors (ERs) ERalpha and ERbeta. The extent to which signalling through ERbeta modulates human fertility is still unclear. Immunohistochemistry revealed that many cells within male and female reproductive systems synthesize ERbeta. Studies using mice lacking functional ERbeta demonstrated disturbed ovarian but intact testicular, function. Differences in reproductive physiology and in ESR expression patterns in rodents and humans mean that we need more data from studies using human cells and/or primate models before we can unravel the contribution made by ERbeta, or its variant isoforms, to reproductive function in humans. Available evidence suggests that direct targeting of ERbeta with selective agonists and antagonists might provide a novel therapeutic target in fertility and/or infertility management.

What are the effects of exercise on womens testosterone levels?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

High testosterone levels in women cause many of the same effects it causes in men. One problem with testosterone levels in women is what is normal in one woman is not in another. Testosterone can be used by women with a low libido, to help get the urge for sex back. But if too much testosterone is taken, a woman will develop facial hair, a deeper voice, more muscle mass and redistribution of fatty pads.

Too much testosterone along with high cholesterol will increase the chance of having a heart attack.

How much testosterone does a male produce?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

CONTRARY to the respected cannon' the amount of testosterone present in a mammals body is approximately only 1% of the total amount of fluid solutions and surprisingly same for a female and child' and the same is in male sperm/ and mothers milk' short term acting prostaglandins' acting inside cells' control the amounts distributed to the places where needed and is controlled by the brain' thyroid hormones' and the brain of each cell' males the brain cell DNA & long term memory cells control' maleism femaleism and puberty' and infancy immune systems as well! note; MITOSIS cannot occur without testosterone' and correct transcription peptides cannot be produced without pure testosterone being present in the correct amount! TESTOSTERONE is the most important hormone in the body' also interleukin 2 growth hormone will not activate without testosterone being present in the cytosol fluid of the cell! Note in female testosterone is used over and over again before loss is occurred, where as in a male testosterone is used up faster because of many reasons. example' metabolic rate' and sperm production' and muscle volume! Fact!

How many cc of testosterone are in a mg?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the medication. 1cc=1mL of liquid. So depending on how many mg are in 1 mL of the vial, that's how many mg are in it. Medications are prescribed as so many mg and whoever draws the medication (nurse, CNA) has to convert the prescription (in mg) to mL of the vial of medication. Hope this helps

Does fish oil help testosterone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes fish oil helps in the increase of testosterone levels. First of all, there are many studies showing that fish oil combats insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is the hallmark sign of Metabolic Disorder and Metabolic Disorder is associated with decreased testosterone (and erectile dysfunction). The reason is that fish oil has long chain omega-3 fatty acids, which improve insulin response.

When do hens produce testosterone?

User Avatar

Asked by Marmathealarma

The hen will not produce testosterone. Cases of spontaneous sex reversal are the result of a disease condition which has resulted in damage to the left ovary of the hen. Typically, female chickens only have one functional ovary, the left one. The right ovary and oviduct are present in the embryonic stages of all birds, but do not develop in chickens. In general, spontaneous sex reversal has been described as the result of pathological conditions (ovarian cyst or tumor, diseased adrenal glands) which cause the left ovary to regress. Residual tissues in the right ovary proliferate in the absence of a functional left ovary. This regenerated right gonad is known as an ovotestis and may contain tissue characteristics of the ovary, the testes, or both. There are reports of these ovotestes producing semen capable of fathering offspring. Most, however, will never lay an egg or sire offspring. The "ovotestes" are steroidogenically functional and secret androgens, as well as estrogen. As a result, the bird develops male secondary characteristics. So while the bird is genotypcially female, it will be phenotypically male.

Will taking testosterone help females lose weight?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Estrogen is a hormone which is responsible for sex, reproduction, metabolism functions in female's body. When entering menopause, estrogen level is low in ovaries so in order to make estrogen, the fat cells have to store more fat. This leads to weight gain. Normally it is seen that estrogen level is very high in the people who are underweight and too low who are overweight. So, it can be said that estrogen contributes in weight gaining or weight losing.
