Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The adrenal glands are responsible for producing small amounts of testosterone in both males and females. Castrated men and women also have small levels of testosterone because they lack the testicles or ovaries that would otherwise produce larger amounts of the hormone. Choice A is incorrect because the pituitary gland produces luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which stimulate the gonads to produce testosterone. Choice B is incorrect because abusing over-the-counter drugs would likely increase testosterone levels, rather than reducing them. Choice C is incorrect because a lack of testicles or ovaries would result in a decrease in testosterone production, not an increase.
