Endocrinology is concerned with the study of the biosynthesis, storage, chemistry, and physiological function of hormones and with the cells of the endocrine glands and tissues that secrete them.
Steroid hormones are converted from their parent compound, cholesterol. Mammalian steroid hormones can be grouped into five groups by the receptors to which they bind: glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, androgens, estrogens, and progestagens.
The androgen group of hormones includes any substance that assists in the development and manages the appearance of male characteristics. The principal hormone in this group is testosterone, an anabolic steroid. Anabolic steroids promote the retention of protein in the body, contribute to muscle mass, bone strength, bone density and more. Testosterone, which stimulates male puberty, is derived from cholesterol and produced in the testes.
I don't see what testosterone has to do with the sounds a prostitute makes.
Oh wait.
