Abstract

Analysis of testosterone concentration in the blood and urine concentration of norepinephrine and epinephrine showed that testosterone level in aggressive prisoners was higher than in moderately aggressive prisoners, although both concentrations were near the low boundary of normal. The level of norepinephrine was also higher in aggressive prisoners than in moderately aggressive jailed inmates. These data and published reports attest to pronounced role of norepinephrine in the formation the aggressive behavior.
