“…Given that higher testosterone is also associated with higher BMI in women (e.g., Sowers et al 2001), there is likely a functional relationship between testosterone, social status, and body size in this population. However, whereas women's dominance and aggression have been positively associated with testosterone in some studies (e.g., Cashdan 2003;Grant and France 2001), others have found negative associations between androgens and social status (e.g., Cashdan 1995), suggesting that the contexts of this relationship may be different for women than it is for men. Indeed, it has been hypothesized that women are more likely to compete indirectly for mates (i.e., reducing the attractiveness of other females, gossiping) rather than engaging in physical altercations with them (Campbell and Cross 2012).…”

“…For example, female mice born between two males (2M) tend to be masculinized and have more male offspring (Vandenbergh & Huggett 1995, Vom Saal et al 1999. Dominant women with elevated serum testosterone concentrations are reported to have significantly more sons than submissive females with lower testosterone concentrations (Grant 1994, Singh & Zambarano 1997, Grant & France 2001, and James (1990) has implicated high testosterone concentrations in the mother around the time of conception as a factor likely to favor sons. However, our data show that the mice on the LF diet unexpectedly had the highest testosterone concentrations at 0 .…”

“…However, levels of testosterone in women vary over the course of the menstrual cycle and even over the course of several days (Sellers et al 2007). A number of studies have found associations between basal or exogenous levels of testosterone and behaviors or attitudes associated with dominance striving in men and women (Dabbs 1997, Wirth & Schultheiss 2007 and women alone (Cashdan 1995, Grant & France 2001, Hermans et al 2006a.…”
