Estrogens are the hormones responsible for the enlargement of breasts and the development of a womanly physique during puberty. Testosterone and adrenal androgens are more involved in the development of male secondary sex characteristics, such as facial hair and a deeper voice. The hypothalamic hormone is involved in regulating the release of other hormones, but it doesn't directly cause physical changes in the body.
