Application: | Testosterone has been used as a standard to study the developmental profile of steroid hormones in male and female rat brains. This hormone has also been used to evaluate its effects on muscle mass and signaling in mice. |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Testosterone secreted by the testis is converted to dihydrotestosterone in the target tissues where it appears to mediate many of the biological actions of testosterone. Androgens direct the development of the male phenotype during embryogenesis and at puberty. |
