Solution

Testosterone:

  1. The testes produce testosterone, which is a sex hormone.
  2. Cells in the testes called interstitial or Leydig cells, produce testosterone in response to the production of LH.
  3. Testosterone maintains typically male characteristics of the body (e.g. facial hair).
  4. Reduced muscle development, minimal facial hair, lack of sex drive, lack of body hair, and erectile dysfunction can all occur when the body does not create enough testosterone.
