Which of the following is true for adrenal androgens?
The correct options are
A Androgens are secreted from the adrenal cortex
C Major androgen secreted from the adrenal cortex is testosterone
D Androgens are involved in creating and maintaining the differences between men and women.
Adrenal cortex secretes androgens. These are produced in very small quantities and function as sex hormones. They are secreted in small quantities and are thought to help in sexual maturation of women and men, though they obviously play a much larger role in males than females. Adrenal androgens are male sex hormones, mainly dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and testosterone. They have weak effects, but play a role in early development of the male sex organs in childhood, and in women during puberty. These are involved in creating and maintaining the differences between men and women. They're the reason why puberty brings about the growth of axial hair and pubic hair in women, and axial, pubic, and facial hair in men.
