AB  - Testicular  growth  and  maturation  are  largely  influenced  by  testosterone,  which  is  produced  by  the  testicle  both  before  and  after  birth.1  Testosterone  production  is  regulated  centrally  by  the  hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular  axis  as  well  as  intragonadally.  Testosterone  effects  include  embryologic  male  genital  differentiation,  neonatal  imprinting  of  androgen-dependent  target  tissue,  maturation  of  the  genitalia  at  puberty,  growth  of  skeletal  muscle,  deepening  of  the  voice  from  laryngeal  growth,  epiphyseal  cartilage  growth  during  puberty,  male  hair  growth  and  distribution,  erythropoiesis,  stimulation  of  sebaceous  glands,  and  male  social  behavior.1,2
