Expert Solution
Step 1: Testosterone

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone produced by the male gonad or testes. Male secondary sex characteristics such as facial hair, pubic hair, increased muscular build, deep voice, and so on are influenced by testosterone. It is involved in increasing protein synthesis in muscles, resulting in increased muscle mass in males.
