The relationship between serum testosterone level and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) from right and left posterior tibial nerves (PTN) was studied in right-handed young adults. Hand preference was assessed by the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory. The amplitudes of P39 and N49 components of the SEPs from the left and right hemispheres of men and only from the left hemisphere of women were found to be negatively linearly and significantly correlated with serum testosterone. There was no significant correlation between P58 and N76 components and serum testosterone in these subjects. The correlations were found to be more prominent for the left hemisphere than the right hemisphere. The data were also analyzed considering eye and foot preferences. It was concluded that testosterone could be associated with the development of the somatosensory system during adolescence.
在右利手的年轻成年人中，研究了血清睾酮水平与左右胫后神经（PTN）体感诱发电位（SEP）之间的关系。通过爱丁堡手性量表评估用手偏好。发现男性左右半球以及女性仅左半球SEP的P39和N49成分的波幅与血清睾酮呈显著负线性相关。在这些受试者中，P58和N76成分与血清睾酮之间无显著相关性。左半球的相关性比右半球更显著。还根据用眼和用脚偏好对数据进行了分析。得出的结论是，睾酮可能与青春期体感系统的发育有关。
