I'm not sure which section to post this but here goes. I know high testosterone = more aggression. Is it true the other way around?

Not even really true. Steroids and high testosterone basically cause you to be more emotional. People that already have a temper will have an increased temper. People that are depressed will be more depressed. People that are typically happy will be happier. Etc.
But no, you getting angry and **** will not cause you to increase your testosterone.@24HrTrainerNOLA

aww dang, I punched a door and flipped over a desk today at work in a fit of rage, normally im shy and quiet. My heart was beating fast and I felt weird but good- i liked it. I usually keep my anger inside and never let it out. I was hoping I could channel it and use it, ill get more testosterone and better muscle gains.

@the1satanfears: As long as there are no studies specificially showing that rage does NOT increase testosterone, don't deny the possibility outright! How arrogant!
I have read a study that has shown that the awaitance of a competitive situation, acompanied by the feeling that you'll end up victorious, produced increased testosterone levels.
An example from countless personal experiences: If I'm raging against someone who pissed me off, my ego get's bloated and I just don't let the thought of losing a competition get into my mind (e.g.: I WILL KILL THIS MOTHERUFKCERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR).
And this is the situation described in the above study.
so yes, i assume that RAGE CAUSES TESTOSTERONE or can do so under certain conditions at least.
for rage-inducing music, i recently totally got into bands like "SUICIDE SILENCE".Last edited by ONX; 11-18-2010 at 03:17 AM.

Anger releases an enzyme called Seratonin
Serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter. It plays a part in the regulation of mood, sleep, learning and constriction of blood vessels (vasoconstriction). A low level of serotonin in the space between nerve cells is connected to depression. Serotonin is created in the body from the amino acid tryptophan. Serotonin may also have a role in appetite, vomiting, migraine and anxiety.

Hmm.. interesting. I have a hypothetical explanation for this, that might be as well be absolutely wrong, depending on your character (but i don't excpect you to agree with it anyways):
There are alot of people who show aggressive behaviour as a compensation for low self-esteem. A drop in testo will lower self-esteem in most people (proven fact). Maybe therefore, you fell back into older behavioural patterns.
edit: i also think, there are diffrent types of rage. Like BigJamiel allready mentioned, there's one type linked to stress / sadness or despair. But the kinda rage described in my last post might differ in some aspects, raising confidence and possibly mood or testosterone (but certainly provocability as well, as i noticed on myself).Last edited by ONX; 12-18-2010 at 07:11 AM.

Researchers have just found that in reality, increased anger DOES IN FACT, increase levels of testosterone production. Here are the links: w.ww.livestrong.com/article/170803-anger-aggressive-behavior/ .....and..... w.ww.physorg.com/news194528309.html .....and........... ht.tp://health.usnews.com/health-news/family-health/brain-and-behavior/articles/2010/06/04/anger-spurs-surprising-changes-in-the-body
Guess that explains the gains made after psyching up for the big game, especially in football. Get angry and get more test. ;( = (y)

I found an article that contains some pretty interesting claims on this very topic. In short, it argues that anger causes increased testoserone release and decreased cortisol release. Stay angry, my friends.
Oh, I cannot post URLs yet, so just Google the study's title, "Anger and testosterone: evidence that situationally-induced anger relates to situationally-induced testosterone." It is on the governement's NIH site.
