Dunham (surname) Dunham is a surname of Anglo-Saxon origination. The origins of the name may be in the Britannic place name âde Dinanâ (Dinan is a walled town in North West France). Alan, Barron de Dinan of Scotland carried the name to the United Kingdom with William the Conqueror in 1066.
Thus HCG sends the same message and results in increased testosterone production by the testis due to HCGâs effect on the leydig cells of the testis.
Other cells that make testosterone in the testis, called Leydig cells, are also believed to make some estrogen. Although the amount of circulating estrogen in males is low compared to females, the testis itself contains a relatively high concentration of the hormone because it is made in that organ.
