Abstract
⺠Studied testosterone levels and androgen receptor genotype in left-, right-, and mixed handers. ⺠Strongly left-handed men were found to have lower testosterone than right-handed men. ⺠Weakly left-handed men ('mixed' handers) showed DNA evidence of a less active androgen receptor. ⺠Findings support theories suggesting handedness differences in testosterone exposure. ⺠Findings may offer a way to unite endocrine and genetic theories of handedness.
