Hello Sci. I'm looking for someone to peer check my work. I am a researcher that is working on understanding leydig cell function.
Serum testosterone was measured in a group of male chimpanzees of varying ages by radioimmunoassay using a specific antiserum to testosterone-3-carboxym ethyloxime-bovine serum albumin. The juvenile age group, ranging from one through six years (n=26), had a mean serum testosterone value of 13ng/100ml (range 3.5-59ng/100ml). The adolescent age group, spanning years seven through ten (n=19), had a mean value of 178ng/100ml (range 14.6-238ng/100ml). The adult group, comprised of animals over eleven years of age (n=29), had a mean peripheral serum testosterone value of 397ng/100ml (range 92-680ng/100ml). These data suggest that serum testosterone levels may be useful in determing the age and sexual maturity of chimpanzees of unknown age.
Here i'm looking at 397ng/100ml adult chimps and comparing it to average 30 year old human test. levels which are 500 ng/dL.
Is 500 ng/dl the same as 5 ng / 100 ml? so it is therefore correct to say male chimpanzees have more than 300x as much testosterone as human males on average?

Are you fucking serious? Go to a place that at least has a semblance of knowledge to get peer reviewed.
Coming to fucking /sci/ kek nice joke bra

I was expecting a more.,mature response than that,here. . .

that was a mistake

Shame this isn't about gorillas desu

Nope. /sci/ is mostly a bunch of young college students whom think they're smart, uneducated/stupid people whom think they're smart, people expecting that there are smart people on /sci/ , trolls, and the occasional "omg guys! I fucking love science! xDD im such a nerd! darwin? newton? euler? whos that?"

what the hell are you talking about?
anyway 1 dl = 1000 ml, check your zeros

>>8212554
>1 dL = 1000 mL
lol Americans...
>>
>>8212554
actually no it's 100ml
so 500 ng/dl is 5 ng/ml

make your own conclusions and draw your confidence intervals
are you really a researcher?
>>
Why are you referring to them as chimpanzee and not Pan troglodytes or Pan paniscus, as far as I know that is the convention in biology and helps to differentiate which species you actually studied.

1 dl=100 ml

How did you get 300x more testosterone? If average human test levels are 5 ng / 100 ml, then adult chimp averages would only be 79.4x more.
