Descriptor testosterona
Scope note: Potente esteroide androgénico y principal producto de las CÉLULAS DE LEYDIG del TESTÍCULO. La HORMONA LUTEINIZANTE de la HIPÓFISIS estimula su producción. A su vez, la testosterona ejerce una autorregulación negativa de la secreción hipofisaria de hormona luteinizante (LH) y hormona estimulante del folículo (FSH). Además, dependiendo de los tejidos, la testosterona puede convertirse en DIHIDROTESTOSTERONA o ESTRADIOL.

Scope note: A potent androgenic steroid and major product secreted by the LEYDIG CELLS of the TESTIS. Its production is stimulated by LUTEINIZING HORMONE from the PITUITARY GLAND. In turn, testosterone exerts feedback control of the pituitary LH and FSH secretion. Depending on the tissues, testosterone can be further converted to DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE or ESTRADIOL.
