Adrenal androgens, such as DHEA and androstenedione, are normally secreted in both males and females, but in insufficient amounts to cause masculinization. Adrenal estrogens, such as estrone and estradiol, are also secreted in both males and females. Adrenal androgens do not directly control the female sex drive, although they can be converted to estrogens which may indirectly affect sexual function. Adrenal androgens are controlled by the pituitary gland, not the gonadotropic hormones.
