Testosterone is a steroid hormone from the androgen group and is found in humans and other vertebrates. In humans and other mammals, testosterone is secreted primarily by the testicles of males and, to a lesser extent, the ovaries of females. Small amounts are also secreted by the adrenal glands. It is the principal male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid.
Testosterone is the principle hormone in humans that produces male secondary sex characteristics (androgenic) and is an important hormone in maintaining adequate nitrogen balance, thus aiding in tissue healing and the maintenance of muscle mass (anabolic).ost of these center on the anabolic nature of these drugs and their use in people with cachexia, produced by such disease states as HIV, hepatic and renal failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), some types of cancer, and burns, as well as during postoperative recovery.
