testosterone  

Définition

  • Testosterone (T) is produced in the adrenal cortex and ovary of females, but it is made in far greater amounts by the male testis. Castration of humans and animals has long been practiced to prevent fertility and the development of secondary sexual characteristics, cause docility, reduce sex drive, and, in butchered animals, to produce fatter, more tender meat.
