Abstract
Testosterone is a hormone primarily produced by the testicles in adult men and it is the basic male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid. Androgen is important for survival. It is influences a man's appearance and sexual development, stimulating sperm production and regulating sex drive. This hormone is a key growth factor in prostate gland. Prostatic cells stop thriving when testosterone levels fall and Prostate cancer cells shrink both benign and malignant. Testosterone deficiency is a clinical and biochemical syndrome that is linked to ageing and is characterized by typical symptoms and a testosterone deficiency in the blood. The number of people who get it is going up because of ageing and common health problems like obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Several studies have linked a lack of androgen to a higher death rate in men. More and more research links between androgen deficiency and metabolic disorders and effects on lifestyle are being discovered. The aim of the review article was to summarize the latest evidence about the Testosterone hormone in terms of clinical indications and diagnostic tests, as well as the effects of the Testosterone hormone on the different organs in the male human body.
