Testosterone
Testosterone is an androgen synthesized by the Leydig cells of the testes in males and by the adrenal cortex and the stroma of the ovary in females. The determination of testosterone can be used for the assessment of fertility status and sexual development. It can be used in diagnosis and monitoring of androgen excess states in females. In males, it can be used in diagnosis and monitoring of androgen insufficiency states and differential diagnosis of hypogonadism, hypopituitarism and hyperprolactinemia and as an aid in diagnosis of precocious and delayed puberty in boys.
