Foreclosure: What It Is and How to Avoid It Foreclosure is the legal process wherein a mortgagee or a lender obtains a court order to terminate a mortgagor's right of redemption of a mortgaged property. Currently foreclosures on a home or another type of property are no longer just a possibility but a reality for most homeowners, according to Kevin Simpson, columnist and sales manager for SalesListing.com. In most cases, lenders obtain a security interest from a borrower in the form of property such as a house in order to secure a loan. In the event that the borrower is not able to repay that loan, the lender can then try to repossess the property. However, in some cases, courts of equity may grant the borrower the right of redemption if he or she shows the ability to repay the debt. However, if the lender feels that it cannot successfully repossess the property, then it may opt to foreclose the equitable right of redemption. Foreclosure is also applicable to other types of debt such as overdue taxes or unpaid contractor bills. Testosterone Testosterone is an androgenic hormone (or sex hormone) that plays a major role in the sexual development of males. It is the human hormone equivalent of estrogen in females and is also present in females in small amounts, as estrogen is also present in small amounts in males. Testosterone is secreted in the testes in males and in the ovaries in females. Levels of the hormone start to decline at the age of 25. Functions of testosterone in the human body Testosterone plays an important role in the sexual development of males. It promotes protein synthesis to promote growth of muscles and an increase in muscle mass. It also promotes improved calcium absorption and mineralization of the bones. Androgenic effects of testosterone include the maturation of the male sex organs, the formation of the scrotum in male fetuses, and the development of secondary sexual characteristics in men.
