He became famous or infamous to some for procedures which involved the transfer of tissue from one species to another; specifically, transplanting goat testicles into humans as a treatment of sexual dysfunction.

In the mid-1930s, researchers Adolf Butenandt and Leopold Ruzicka were awarded the Nobel Prize … Read more »

Reading Time: 1 minuteBy Rick Nauert PhD Senior News Editor Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on October 1, 2013 New research suggests testosterone can promote generosity, but only when there is no threat of competition. The study is published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. Study findings show that testosterone is implicated in behaviors that help to foster and maintain social relationships, indicating that its effects are more nuanced than previously thought.

Use of testosterone therapy has increased dramatically over the past decade, according to a new study.
