Estrogens in the male are secreted by the testes and derived extragonadally from the aromatization of certain androgens. In some brain regions critical for the control of gonadotropin secretion and behavior, androgens may be aromatized to estrogens within the cells that are regulated. Estrogen may have other physiological roles on the testes to control testosterone secretion and on accessory sex glands to promote both fibromuscular growth and secretion. High doses of estrogen given for treatment of prostatic cancer or modulation of reproductive function not only reduce testosterone secretion but also interact with the liver, changing the secretion of various plasma proteins and causing several undesirable side effects. The hypothalamus, pituitary, testes, accessory sex glands, and liver all contain an apparently identical protein, the estrogen receptor, which may mediate the actions of estrogen.
