Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that terms like 'hormonas androgénicas' may be used colloquially, but it is important to stick to 'hormonas testiculares' in formal contexts. Additionally, confusion may arise with related terms such as 'hormonas sexuales' or 'hormonas masculinas', which can refer to broader categories.
