Detailed explanation-1: -Testosterone is the main sex hormone in men. Most testosterone is made in the testes (testicles). Small amounts are also made in your adrenal gland (in the kidney).
Detailed explanation-2: -Your adrenal glands also produce the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which your body transforms into testosterone and estrogen. Testosterone is the main androgen, meaning it stimulates the development of male characteristics.
