Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Androgens (such as testosterone) increase significantly during puberty in boys, leading to the development of male sex characteristics like facial hair and a deeper voice. While girls also experience an increase in androgens during puberty, it is not as drastic as in boys. Estrogen, on the other hand, increases more in girls during puberty, leading to the development of female sex characteristics like breasts and the onset of menstruation. DHEA and leptin also increase during puberty but do not show a significant difference in levels between boys and girls.
