Selected members of an all-male social group of rhesus monkeys were treated with twice-weekly injections of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) to determine the effects of the consequently increased androgen secretion on social behavior. Radioimmunoassay of blood samples confirmed significant increases in serum testosterone levels in each of 4 subject, but only 3 of these showed significant behavioral changes. The basic social structure of the group, including the dominance hierarchy, was not disrupted by the treatment with HCG. Rather, the behavioral changes which did not occur appeared to be intensifications of previously existing social relationship.
对恒河猴全雄社会群体中的选定成员每周注射两次人绒毛膜促性腺激素（HCG），以确定雄激素分泌增加对社会行为的影响。对血样进行放射免疫测定证实，4只实验对象的血清睾酮水平均显著升高，但其中只有3只出现了显著的行为变化。该群体的基本社会结构，包括优势等级制度，并未因HCG治疗而受到干扰。相反，未出现的行为变化似乎是对先前存在的社会关系的强化。
