    TLDR Both estrogens and androgens are important for health in both males and females.
    The document reviewed the significant roles of estrogens in males and androgens in females, emphasizing their impact on reproductive development, bone health, and metabolic functions. It highlighted the necessity of these hormones for maintaining homeostasis and preventing diseases, with studies on genetic mutations and hormone deficiencies providing key insights. The review also discussed the influence of androgens on bone density, reproductive functions, and breast cancer prognosis, as well as their effects on ovarian follicular development and polycystic ovary syndrome. The findings underscored the complex interplay between sex steroids and their receptors, suggesting the need for further research to fully understand their mechanisms and therapeutic potential.
