Marriage and fatherhood linked to lower testosterone

I’m not quite sure what I’m getting out of this article, but it seems like an interesting tidbit worth noting.

Researchers at UNLV recently found a correlation between the testosterone levels of men and their status as a husband / long term partners and dad.

The studies, conducted by UNLV anthropology professor Peter Gray, are among the first of their kind conducted outside North America to show that hormone levels differ significantly not only between fathers and non-fathers, but also between single men and men involved in long-term marital relationships. These kinds of novel research on hormones and human partnering represent an exciting new advance in the field and represent one of the frontiers of human biology and behavior.

Fantastic! Between the sleep I’ll be losing and the drop in testosterone, I’ll be crying and falling asleep in front of Oprah in no time.
