OTHER HORMONES
TESTOSTERONE is important in the
development of male characteristics,
including muscle mass and strength, fat
distribution, bone mass and sex drive.

ESTROGEN stimulats the

growth of uterine lining.

PROGESTERONE maintains the

uterine lining for pregnancy.
 Hormones have
several effects on the
body that are vital to
its function. An excess
or deficiency in
hormones can
significantly impact
on an individual's
normal daily living.
