چکیده
Testosterone is a lipid-soluble molecule synthesized mainly from cholesterol in the testes, ovaries, and adrenal glands and is important for spermatogenesis and the development of both primary and secondary male sex characteristics. Anabolic steroids, which have similar properties to testosterone, are commonly taken by athletes and body builders to increase performance, however, they possess dangerous side effects.
