| Definition: | | A steroid hormone which is necessary for male sexual reproduction and may also play a role in female sexual response. It is responsible for such male secondary sexual characteristics as body hair, and it is linked to male pattern baldness. In males, is produced in the Leydig cells of the testes; in both sexes, it is produced in smaller quantities by the adrenal glands. |
