Sexual differentiation in humans any androgen can cause external masculinization. The most potent is dihydrotestosterone (DHT), generated from testosterone in skin and genital tissue by the action of 5α-reductase. A male fetus may be incompletely masculinized if this enzyme is deficient. In some diseases and circumstances, other androgens may be present in high enough concentrations to cause partial or (rarely) complete masculinization of the external genitalia of a genetically female fetus. The testes begin to secrete three hormones that influence the male internal and external genitalia. They secrete anti-müllerian hormone, testosterone, and Dihydrotestosterone. anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) causes the paramesonephric ducts to regress. Testosterone, which
Male lactation where male lactation occurs and it is not well understood what evolutionary factors control the development of this trait. The phenomenon of male lactation occurs in some species, notably the Dayak fruit bat ("Dyacopterus spadiceus"), and the lactating males may assist in the nursing of their infants. In addition, male goats are known to lactate on occasion. Human male breastfeeding is possible, but production of the hormone prolactin is necessary to induce lactation, so male lactation does not occur under normal conditions. Domperidone is a drug that can be used to increase lactation. Male lactation has also been seen during
