The hormone has become part of the language of popular cultureT . he New York Times carried the following passages in the previous 2 weeks: “I always thought downtown had a high testosterone level”, referring to the high ma- to-female ratio of residents in lower Manhattan (14 April 2007). “It is the kind of gathering that, at its most primal, has testosterone fowing more freely than the on-the-house spirits”, referring to a news conference prior to a boxing match (20 April 2007). “[T]hese are testosterone-fueled domains, largely defnedby bulging muscles and e- ploding guns”, in a review of an action movie (20 April 2007). “[T]his flm is about [auto racing] surfaces, for young men with testosterone to burn”, from a review of another action movie (14 April 2007).
