- The male sEx hormone is testosterone produced by testes and the female sEx hormones are estrogen and progesterone produced by ovaries.

- GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) is secreted by hypothalamus which acts on the anterior pituitary gland to secrete FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone).

- LH produced by anterior pituitary gland travels via bloodstream and reach the testes to act on the leydig cells which synthesizes the male hormone testosterone. In females, LH surge during midway in the menstrual cycle causes ovulation which releases secondary occyte and converts the mature Graafian follilce into corpus luteum which secretes progesterone.

- FSH regulates the process of spermatogenesis in males and oogenesis in females. In females, the granulosa cells of developing ovarian follicle secretes the female hormone estrogen during the influence of hormone FSH from anterior pituitary gland.

Obesity in adult males is associated with lower levels of sex hormone. A study investigated a possible link between obesity and testosterone levels in adolescent males between the ages of 14 and 20 years. The study compared 25 obese adolescent males and 25 adolescent males with a healthy weight. Their plasma testosterone concentrations (in nanomoles per liter, nmol/l) are provided: Obese adolescent males 0.30 0.24 0.19 0.17 0.18 0.23 0.24 0.06 0.15 0.17 0.18 0.17 0.15 0.12 0.25 0.25 0.25...
