Testosterone seems to have augmetitive effects on the dopaminergic system. I believe it can sensitize dopamine receptors.

Estrogen on the other hand seems to interact with the serotonergic system. It can sensitize serotonin receptors. Estrogen also reglates the actions of MAO-A, and the serotonin transporter.

Some people think that the actions of antidepressants are medated throught their effects on sex hormones.
