Main male hormone: All hormones created by the body start off as cholesterol. Using enzymes, your body goes through steps to convert the cholesterol into testosterone, estrogen, and many other hormones. Testosterone is responsible for libido, and aids in building muscle and strength. Too much causes acne, hair loss, rage, and many other issues. Synthetic forms of testosterone are available to treat low levels.
