Application

Testosterone acetate was used to prepare thiosemicarbazone ligand and as a standard to analyze the androgenic steroids from cattle hair by LC/MS/MS.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Testosterone is a steroid sex hormone that has physiological roles in both sexes. It modulates the development of brain structure and differentiation of neurons during intrauterine development. It activates signaling by androgen receptors that results in the formation of male sex organs, growth of facial hair and muscles.
