Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is capable of reducing male testosterone blood levels with a corresponding reduction in sexual interest and activity. An attempt to evaluate its effectiveness with court committed sexual offenders was made with eight subjects each serving as his own control by alternating Depo-Provera injections for 16 weeks with saline injections for a corresponding 16 weeks. This paper reports the results of this study and the conclusions that appear to be appropriate.
醋酸甲羟孕酮（MPA）能够降低男性血液中的睾酮水平，同时相应降低性兴趣和性行为。研究人员尝试对八名被法庭判定有罪的性犯罪者评估其有效性，每名受试者都作为自身对照，在16周内交替注射醋酸甲羟孕酮和生理盐水，各注射16周。本文报告了该研究的结果以及得出的合理结论。
