Oh Sir! Did you know the answer to my query?

Aho!

Testosterone is produced by the gonads (by the Leydig cells in testes in men and by the ovaries in women), although small quantities are also produced by the adrenal glands in both sexes. It is an androgen, meaning that it stimulates the development of male characteristics.

Testosterone is linked to many of the changes seen in boys during puberty (including an increase in height, body and pubic hair growth, enlargement of the penis, testes and prostate gland, and changes in sexual and aggressive behaviour).

You probably guessed it ... BUT how is it commercially sourced?

Testosterone banks?

GOOGLE SAYS:
How is testosterone manufactured?
The vast majority of prescription testosterone (cream, gel, injectable, patch, subcutaneous, etc.) is derived from plant sources such as soybeans and yams. Soybeans and yams are natural substances that are put through a chemical synthesis in a laboratory setting to derive the end product of testosterone.

History[edit]
See also: Testosterone § History, and Anabolic steroid § History
Testosterone was first isolated and synthesized in 1935.[94] Shortly thereafter, in 1937, testosterone first became commercially available as a pharmaceutical drug in the form of pellets and then in ester form for intramuscular injection as the relatively short-acting testosterone propionate.[36][34][95] Methyltestosterone, one of the first synthetic AAS and orally active androgens, was introduced in 1935, but was associated with hepatotoxicity and eventually became largely medically obsolete.[95] In the mid-1950s, the longer-acting testosterone esters testosterone enanthate and testosterone cypionate were introduced.[95] They largely superseded testosterone propionate and became the major testosterone esters used medically for over half a century.[95] In the 1970s, testosterone undecanoate was introduced for oral use in Europe,[95] although intramuscular testosterone undecanoate had already been in use in China for several years.[96] Intramuscular testosterone undecanoate was not introduced in Europe and the United States until much later (in the early to mid 2000s and 2014, respectively).[3][97]
The history of testosterone as a medication has been reviewed.

So yes, the question arises: How can the world mafiosi profit from this?
 
Aggression and hypomania[edit]
From the mid-1980s onward, the media reported "roid rage" as a side effect of AAS.[110]:23
A 2005 review determined that some, but not all, randomized controlled studies have found that AAS use correlates with hypomania and increased aggressiveness, but pointed out that attempts to determine whether AAS use triggers violent behavior have failed, primarily because of high rates of non-participation.[111] A 2008 study on a nationally representative sample of young adult males in the United States found an association between lifetime and past-year self-reported AAS use and involvement in violent acts. Compared with individuals that did not use steroids, young adult males that used AAS reported greater involvement in violent behaviors even after controlling for the effects of key demographic variables, previous violent behavior, and polydrug use.[112] A 1996 review examining the blind studies available at that time also found that these had demonstrated a link between aggression and steroid use, but pointed out that with estimates of over one million past or current steroid users in the United States at that time, an extremely small percentage of those using steroids appear to have experienced mental disturbance severe enough to result in clinical treatments or medical case reports.[113]
A 1996 randomized controlled trial, which involved 43 men, did not find an increase in the occurrence of angry behavior during 10 weeks of administration of testosterone enanthate at 600 mg/week, but this study screened out subjects that had previously abused steroids or had any psychiatric antecedents.[114][115] A trial conducted in 2000 using testosterone cypionate at 600 mg/week found that treatment significantly increased manic scores on the YMRS, and aggressive responses on several scales. The drug response was highly variable. However: 84% of subjects exhibited minimal psychiatric effects, 12% became mildly hypomanic, and 4% (2 subjects) became markedly hypomanic. The mechanism of these variable reactions could not be explained by demographic, psychological, laboratory, or physiological measures.[116]
A 2006 study of two pairs of identical twins, in which one twin used AAS and the other did not, found that in both cases the steroid-using twin exhibited high levels of aggressiveness, hostility, anxiety, and paranoid ideation not found in the "control" twin.[117] A small-scale study of 10 AAS users found that cluster B personality disorders were confounding factors for aggression.[118]
The relationship between AAS use and depression is inconclusive. There have been anecdotal reports of depression and suicide in teenage steroid users,[119] but little systematic evidence. A 1992 review found that AAS may both relieve and cause depression, and that cessation or diminished use of AAS may also result in depression, but called for additional studies due to disparate data.[120] In the case of suicide, 3.9% of a sample of 77 those classified as AAS users reported attempting suicide during withdrawal (Malone, Dimeff, Lombardo, & Sample, 1995).

Besides testosterone, other androgens include: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal cortex from cholesterol.

It is the primary precursor of natural estrogens.

DHEA is also called dehydroisoandrosterone or dehydroandrosterone.
Synonyms: Androgenic hormone; Testoid
Biological target: Androgen receptor, mARs ...

Androgen - Wikipedia

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
What stimulates the release of androgens?
Androgen synthesis and secretion in men is regulated by the complex interaction between the hypothalamus–pituitary–testicular axis. The hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) which stimulates the pituitary gland into secreting luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The adrenal cortex is the outer region and also the largest part of an adrenal gland.
It is divided into three separate zones: zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata and zona reticularis. Each zone is responsible for producing specific hormones.

Adrenal Glands | Johns Hopkins Medicine

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are endocrine glands that produce a variety of hormones including adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and cortisol. They are found above the kidneys. Each gland has an outer cortex which produces steroid hormones and an inner medulla.
System: Endocrine system

Well China has synthetic versions I'd guess.

FAST FOOD NATION

The Dark Side of the All-American Meal

By Eric Schlosser

Illustrated. 356 pages. Houghton Mifflin. $25.

Eric Schlosser's compelling new book, ''Fast Food Nation,'' will not only make you think twice before eating your next hamburger, but it will also make you think about the fallout that the fast food industry has had on America's social and cultural landscape: how it has affected everything from ranching and farming to diets and health, from marketing and labor practices to larger economic trends.

As the subtitle of his book, ''The Dark Side of the All-American Meal,'' clearly indicates, Mr. Schlosser is not sanguine about the consequences of the fast food business.

He argues that ''the centralized purchasing decisions of the large restaurant chains and their demand for standardized products have given a handful of corporations an unprecedented degree of power over the nation's food supply,'' and that as ''the basic thinking behind fast food has become the operating system of today's retail economy,'' small businesses have been marginalized and regional differences smoothed over. A deadening homogenization, he writes, has been injected into the country and increasingly the world at large.

Mr. Schlosser, a correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly, draws on earlier works like Jim Hightower's ''Eat Your Heart Out,'' Stan Luxenberg's ''Roadside Empires,'' Robert L. Emerson's ''New Economics of Fast Food,'' and ''Big Mac: The Unauthorized Story of McDonald's'' by Max Boas and Steve Chain. He has also done a lot of legwork, interviewing dozens of fast food workers, farmers, ranchers and meatpackers in an effort to trace the snowballing effect that fast-food production methods have had on their work.

The resulting book, which began as a two-part article in Rolling Stone magazine, is not a dispassionate examination of the subject but a fierce indictment of the fast food industry. Mr. Schlosser contends that ''the profits of the fast food chains have been made possible by losses imposed on the rest of society,'' including a rising obesity rate and an increase in foodborne illnesses (most notably, those caused by the E. coli O157:H7 bacteria, whose spread has been facilitated by the growing centralization of the meat production process).

He argues that ''since the administration of President Richard Nixon, the fast food industry has worked closely with its allies in Congress and the White House to oppose new worker safety, food safety and minimum wage laws.'' He urges the government to ban advertising aimed at children, to ''create a single food safety agency that has sufficient authority to protect the public health'' and to stop subsidizing the sort of dead-end jobs generated by the fast food business.

On occasion, Mr. Schlosser undermines the substantive points he wants to make by seeming eager to blame that industry for virtually every contemporary ill. Talking about restaurant robberies, he writes that ''crime and fast food have become so ubiquitous in American society that their frequent combination usually goes unnoticed.'' Talking about teenagers who take jobs after school to buy a car, he complains that ''as more and more kids work to get their own wheels, fewer participate in after-school sports and activities''; ''they stay at their jobs late into the night, neglect their homework and come to school exhausted.''

Despite such melodramatic lapses, ''Fast Food Nation'' provides the reader with a vivid sense of how fast food has permeated contemporary life and a fascinating (and sometimes grisly) account of the process whereby cattle and potatoes are transformed into the burgers and fries served up by local fast food franchises. It's an account that includes an unnerving description of the dangerous, injury-filled work performed in slaughterhouses, where job assignments have names like ''first legger, knuckle dropper, navel boner'' and an equally absorbing description of how the New Jersey-based ''flavor industry'' tries to make processed frozen food palatable by manipulating taste, aroma and ''mouthfeel.''

What is perhaps most astonishing about America's fast food business is just how successful it has been: what began in the 1940's as a handful of hot dog and hamburger stands in Southern California has spread, like kudzu, across the land to become a $110 billion industry. According to Mr. Schlosser, Americans now spend more on fast food than they spend on higher education, personal computers, computer software or new cars, or on movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos and recorded music combined.

Mr. Schlosser writes that ''on any given day in the United States about one-quarter of the adult population visits a fast food restaurant'' and that ''the typical American now consumes approximately three hamburgers and four orders of French fries every week.'' ''An estimated one of every eight workers in the United States has at some point been employed by McDonald's,'' he adds, and ''the company annually hires about one million people, more than any other American organization, public or private.''

As fast food franchises from McDonald's to Pizza Hut to Kentucky Fried Chicken go global, this dynamic has assumed an international flavor. In Brazil, Mr. Schlosser reports, McDonald's has already become the nation's largest private employer. Classes at McDonald's Hamburger University in Oak Park, Ill., are now taught in 20 different languages, and a Chinese anthropologist notes that all the children at a primary school in Beijing recognized an image of Ronald McDonald. For the Chinese, the anthropologist noted, McDonald's represents ''Americana and the promise of modernization.''
Correction: Feb. 2, 2001
A book review on Tuesday about ''Fast Food Nation'' gave an incorrect location from the book for Hamburger University, McDonald's management training center. It is in Oak Brook, Ill., not Oak Park.
