[1] [2] This includes the embryological development of the primary male sex organs, and the development of male secondary sex characteristics at puberty. Androgens are synthesized in the testes, the ovaries, and the adrenal glands. Androgens increase in both males and females during puberty. [3] The major androgen in males is testosterone. [4]

During puberty the HPG axis is activated by the secretions of estrogen from the ovaries or testosterone from the testes.

Once activated, the HPG axis continues to function in men for the rest of their life but becomes deregulated in women, leading to ...
Men tend to be taller and heavier than women, and adjusted for height, men tend to have greater lean and bone mass than women, and lower fat mass. [9] Photograph of an adult male human (right), with an adult female for comparison. The pubic hair of both models is removed. Secondary sex characteristics are features that appear during puberty in ...
During puberty, increased gonadotropin secretion stimulates a rise in sex steroids creation from the testes. The increased secretion of testosterone from the testes during puberty causes the male secondary sexual characteristics to be manifested. [16] Male secondary sex characteristics include:
The Post also pointed to debate over puberty blockers in Europe, with "[m]ultiple European health authorities" reviewing scientific evidence for puberty blocker use in minors and "conclud[ing ...
