Miscellaneous sex hormones
What are Miscellaneous sex hormones?
Although there are many different hormones in the human body, they can be divided into three classes based on their chemical structure: lipid-derived, amino acid-derived, and peptide hormones.
Hormones usually work internally, and they only have a direct effect on the individual that is secreting them. Pheromones, unlike most other hormones, are ectohormones. They are secreted outside the body, and they influence the behavior of another individual.
The main hormones responsible for sexual and reproductive health are estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. These hormones play critical roles in pregnancy, puberty, menstruation, sex drive, sperm production and more—and interestingly, all three are present in males and females.
