Background: Testosterone

Testosterone is an important secreted androgen synthesized from cholesterol-derived pregnenolone. Circulating testosterone is predominantly bound to proteins, including specific sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and nonspecific proteins such as albumin. It is believed that bioavailable testosterone includes the free steroid and the albumin-bound form. Testosterone is the main androgen secreted by the Leydig cells of the testes and affects both primary and secondary sexual development.
