#3: Testosterone (female) Part II
from Coffee with Doc!
If you thought testosterone was only important in men, you'd be mistaken. Testosterone is produced in the ovaries and adrenal gland. It's one of several androgens (male sex hormones) in females. These hormones are thought to have important effects on ovarian function bone strength sexual behavior, including normal libido (although evidence is not conclusive). The proper balance between testosterone (along with other androgens) and estrogen is important for the ovaries to work normally. While the specifics are uncertain, it's possible that androgens also play an important role in normal brain function (including mood, sex drive and cognitive function). © 2023 Harvard Health Publishing® of The President and Fellows of Harvard College Website: www.agelessforever.net IG: @Agelessforeverlv
