    Male development can only occur when the fetal testis secretes key hormones at a critical period in early gestation. The testes begin to secrete three hormones that influence the male internal and external genitalia: they secrete anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Anti-Müllerian hormone causes the ...

    The studies often show different results about the body strength difference between the both sexes.

    Both canonical and backdoor pathways are essential in normal male embryonic development. [12] [5] [13] A disruption in the backdoor pathway can lead to incomplete or altered male sexual differentiation. This disruption may result in abnormalities or underdevelopment of the male external genitalia, prostate gland, and other male reproductive ...
