Abstract
⺠Suppression of testosterone (T) by a GnRH agonist lowers anxiety in male rhesus monkeys tested in a 2-min stare condition of the Human Intruder Paradigm; exogenous T restores baseline anxiety levels. ⺠Reduced LH may underlie the beneficial effects of the GnRH on anxiety. ⺠T promotes an adaptive arousal response in face of an immediate social threat.
