Testosterone plays a vital role in a variety of physical and mental processes in both men and women. In men, it is responsible for the development of male sexual characteristics, such as a deeper voice and facial hair. It also helps maintain muscle mass and bone density, and regulates sperm production. In women, testosterone helps regulate bone density, mood, and sexual function. Maintaining healthy levels of testosterone is crucial for overall health and well-being.
