No relationship between the digit ratios (2D:4D) and salivary testosterone change: Study on men under an acute exercise
Abstract The digit ratio (2D:4D) is said to be a potential marker of exposure to prenatal sex steroids. Some studies suggest that the 2D:4D is also linked with the testosterone response to challenging situations due to organizational effect of prenatal hormonal milieu on adult endocrine functioning....
