• Male traits that also are influenced by androgens include facial and body hair and small breasts
• They are responsible for supporting (stimulating) tissues that primarily are thought of as male, for example, the male prostate gland.
• Androgens (an example of which is testosterone) are hormones that are produced and released by the adrenal glands.
• Anti-androgens prevent the action of androgens by blocking the receptors for androgens on the cells of tissues, for example, the cells of the prostate gland.
