HGH elevates testosterone in adult males
The testosterone concentration in the males in the pre-rut (211±12ng/g; N=13; dominant male 296ng/g) was significant higher than other seasons (P<0.05). High testosterone in dominant male at pre-rut was associated with a decrease in confrontations. The individuals with the highest average testosterone concentrations were the dominant male and female (166±82ng/g; 130±32ng/g, N=6, respectively). In females, testosterone was highest in during the post-partum interval and was associated with an increase in aggression.
