Effects of progesterone on production of androgen-dependent aggression-eliciting pheromones were investigated. Two groups of anosmic (non-fighting) castrated mice treated with testosterone or with testosterone and progesterone, respectively, were attacked to the same degree by intact, isolated (fighting) mice while control mice (castrated only) were attacked less. The findings support the idea that progesterone may inhibit androgen-induced aggression via a neural and not via a somatic mechanism.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
