    Glossary Androgen Secretion

    process of releasing male hormones into the bloodstream

    Androgen secretion refers to the process by which androgens, a group of hormones that play a key role in male traits and reproductive activity, are produced and released into the bloodstream. These hormones, including testosterone, are primarily secreted by the testes in males and the adrenal glands in both males and females. Androgen secretion influences various bodily functions, such as hair growth, muscle mass, and the development of secondary sexual characteristics.
