耶魯大學研究團隊的科學家，發表在Journal of Biological Chemistry的研究顯示，類固醇會增高男性荷爾蒙的濃度，進而增加攻擊及自殺行為，正常細胞會進行process of apoptosis - programmed cell death而死亡，大腦的活性受到改變，也許與一些腦退化疾病如阿茲海默症、亢亭頓疾病有關。

The team found that cultured nerve cells which were exposed to testosterone died by a process of apoptosis - programmed cell death. This is a natural process that in normal circumstances plays a key role in clearing away damaged cells which might be harmful. However, when healthy cells become suicidal, it can cause severe problems, and has been implicated in neurological illnesses such as Alzheimer's and Huntingdon's disease. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.medicalprogress.org/benefits/depress/news.cfm?news_id=474"><DIV>
