Reading Time: < 1 minuteAll about testosterone and sexuality in men. TESTOSTERONE is a hormone produced naturally in the body. In men, it comes mainly from the testis. The adrenal glands also produce small amounts of testosterone. Many do not know this but testosterone is not exclusively a male hormone.

Testosterone causes increased muscle bulk as well as the growth of bones. In men, it helps in the development of male sex organs (penis and prostate). The deepening of the voice in … Read more »

Researchers want to understand exactly how the body produces these hormones in order to develop better treatments for steroid hormone disorders such as hypogonadism and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, … Read more »

Last year they spent 100-million dollars. And sales are soaring, topping two billion dollars in 2012. But Consumer Reports says most men dont need testosterone treatments. Even if youre worried about erectile dysfunction, treatment with testosterone usually isnt the answer.

"While scientists use different toxins and a number of complex genetic approaches to model Parkinson's disease in mice, we have found that the sudden drop in the levels of testosterone … Read more »
