The following information is about Androgens.
Androgens Defined
Sex hormones found naturally in a woman's body, which is produced by the ovaries, adrenal glands and other tissues. Androgens play a key role in regulating certain bodily functions, including the growth spurt at puberty. It is believed to regulate the function of many organs, including the reproductive tract, kidneys, liver and muscles. During menopause, androgen levels drop by more than 50 percent, which can result in, among other things, a decreased sex drive. Androgen also can promote male characteristics, such as hair formation and a deepening voice.
This definition is in context to Female Health. See more contextual defintions for Androgens.
