Abstract
⺠We manipulated testosterone (T) concentrations in male guinea pigs during adolescence. ⺠In late adolescence, we examined cortisol responsiveness. ⺠Males with high T values during adolescence had low cortisol response and vice versa. ⺠Thus, T has an inhibiting effect on cortisol responsiveness during adolescence. ⺠Adolescence may be a switch point for the adaptive modulation of the stress response.
