Male Endocrine System

Meaning

The integrated network of glands and hormones in the male body responsible for regulating sexual development, reproductive function, energy metabolism, muscle mass, and mood, with the testes serving as the primary source of androgens. This system is centrally controlled by the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axis, which orchestrates the production and secretion of testosterone and other key hormones. Maintaining the integrity of this complex system is essential for overall male health and longevity.
