Testosterone 17p-hydroxy-androst-4-en-3-one, an important androgen synthesized in the interstitial cells of the testicle. It stimulates growth of the prostate and seminal vesicles, and promotes sperm maturation and development of male secondary sexual characteristics. Apart from mammalian testes, T. also occurs in blood and urine. It was first isolated in 1935 from bovine testes. Esters of X, e.g. T. propionate, are used in the treatment of male sex hormone deficiency, endocrine disorders in gynecology and in geriatrics. For structure and biosynthesis, see Androgens.
