First sentence: Although the development of the sexual attributes of the female depends on the steroid hormones produced by the ovary - C18 estrogenic steroids, C21 progestogenic steroids and C19 androgenic steroids - their vascular effects may exert a far greater influence on female activity and longevity than any other action of these hormones.
