性激素的功能
睾丸激素:太少或太多?

在成人,激素不平衡也能夠導致身體的改變。例如:在女性會長鬍子,在男性會引起乳房發育。對於兩性,缺乏睾丸激素能導致-但不是必定導致性欲缺乏。睾丸激素水準非常高則導致富有攻擊性和增加性活動;但是,似乎心理社會因素在這個方面起著更重要的作用。

The Role of Hormones
Testosterone: Too little or too much?
Hormonal imbalances can lead to physical changes in adults, too. Examples: Growth of a beard in women, development of breasts in men. In either sex, a lack of testosterone can - but does not have to - lead to a lack of sexual desire. A very high level of testosterone may contribute to aggressiveness and increased sexual activity. However, it seems that psychosocial factors play a more important role in this regard.
