Androgen haormone is secreted by

Hello Muneeb,

Androgens are natural synthetic steroid hormones that regulate development and maintenance of male characteristics in vertebrates by binding to androgen receptors. The embryological development of the primary male reproductive organs, and the development of male secondary reproductive characteristics at puberty are all regulated by the androgens.

Androgens are synthesized in the testes, the ovaries and the adrenal glands. Although androgens are commonly thought of only as male reproductive hormones, females also have them, but at substantially lower levels. They function in sexual arousal and are precursors to estrogens in both females and males.

Hope this helps you. We wish you the best for your future endeavours!

Muneeb, androgen is a group of hormones which are responsible for the growth and development of the human reproductive system. The most predominant hormone in this category is the testosterone which is secreted by the human testes.

Androgens are synthesized and secreted by the testes, ovaries and also the adrenal gland present in the males. The androgens are characteristic hormones of the male reproductive system and usually increase in the puberty stage.
