Hormones that are responsible for the induction of sexual differentiation and produce secondary male physical characteristics such as a deep voice and facial hair. An example is the hormone testosterone. They are also present in females as precursors to female hormones (such as estrogen).

Certain hormones that stimulate male sexual development and secondary male sex characteristics. Large amounts are produced in men’s testicles and small amounts are produced in women’s ovaries. The most common androgen is testosterone.

 Sex steroid hormones, including testosterone, found in higher levels in males than females. They are responsible for male sexual maturation.

(an´druo-jenz) Steroids containing 18 carbons that have masculinizing effects; primarily those hormones(such as testosterone) secreted by the testes, although weaker androgens are also secreted by the adrenal cortex. anemia

A family of hormones that promote the development and maintenance of male sex characteristics.

A class of hormones that includes testosterone and other male hormones. See Figure 5.19; Table 5.2.

Hormones responsible for the development of male characteristics such as facial hair or a deep voice. Men and women both produce androgens. Androgens are associated with libido and ability to orgasm.

A class of sex hormones associated with the development and maintenance of the secondary male sex characteristics, sperm induction, and sexual differentiation. In addition to increasing virility and libido, they also increase nitrogen and water retention and stimulate skeletal growth. (12 Dec 1998)

Compounds obtained by chemical synthesis which possess masculinizing activities, but differ in structure from naturally occurring androgens. (12 Dec 1998)

Androgens are often referred to as male hormones.

Male sex hormones.

Male sex hormones that produce male physical characteristics such as facial hair or a deep voice. The main androgen hormone, testosterone, is produced by the testicles.
