Description:
Seventeen females and eight males exposed during gestation to synthetic progestins showed a significantly higher potential for physical aggression than their sex-matched unexposed siblings. Exposure to androgen-based compounds appeared to be most closely associated with aggressive responses. There were no differences in verbal aggression or IQ between exposed and unexposed siblings.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Reinisch, J M -- MH 30676/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Mar 13;211(4487):1171-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7466388" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
