Fig. 1: Testosteron levels & markers of prenatal andorgenization.
From: Child sexual offenders show prenatal and epigenetic alterations of the androgen system
a Acute levels of peripheral testosterone (mean ± std): child sexual offenders (+CSO) showed significantly lower levels compared with non-child sexual offenders (−CSO), as indicated by a 2 × 2 ANOVA with the factors pedophilia and CSO. b Digit-to-ring finger ratio (2D:4D) of the right hand: child sexual offenders (CSO) had a lower 2D:4D ratio of the right hand compared with non-child sexual offenders (−CSO), indicating a higher level of prenatal testosterone. c Lateralization score of the right hand: child sexual offenders showed significantly lower lateralization scores as an additional measure of prenatal androgenization
