Androgens regulate the development, maturation and functions of the male accessory sex organs and stimulate muscular growth, growth of facial and axillary hair, aggressiveness, low pitch of voice, and influence the male sexual behaviour (libido). They also produce anabolic effects on protein and carbohydrate metabolism.
