What are the testosterone levels of varying animals?
|
@Polar :
about #4: sorry I have perhaps confused testosterone and adrenalin after having searched the exacte definition on wikipedia thank to which you can see she also concerns the females animals, humans included. Read that: Testosterone is a steroid from the androstane class containing a keto and hydroxyl groups at the three and seventeen positions respectively. It is biosynthesized in several steps from cholesterol and is converted in the liver to inactive metabolites.[6] It exerts its action through binding to and activation of the androgen receptor.[6] In humans and most other vertebrates, testosterone is secreted primarily by the testicles of males and, to a lesser extent, the ovaries of females. On average, in adult males, levels of testosterone are about 7–8 times as great as in adult females.[7] As the metabolic consumption of testosterone in males is greater, the daily production is about 20 times greater in men.[8][9] Females are also more sensitive to the hormone. I have make the error to assimilate adrenalin and testoterone, due to the fact that males and females spend as much adrenalin within the framework of "struggle for life". |
