Testosterone, a key male sex hormone, plays a crucial role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as the testes and prostate (A), as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics including increased muscle and bone mass, and the growth of body hair (B). It is also responsible for the deepening of the voice during puberty due to the growth of the larynx (C), and can increase the production of sebum, leading to acne (D). Testosterone levels do not follow a 28-day cycle; this is a characteristic more commonly associated with the female menstrual cycle, not testosterone levels in males.
