Abstract

In an impressive series of studies, Edwards and O'Neal (this issue) present evidence that argues strongly in favor of including women on oral contraceptives (OC) when measuring the effects of competition on salivary testosterone (T). Compared to non-users, Edwards and O'Neal find that OC users showed the same increase in T after competition as non-users, despite the fact that OC users had much lower levels of salivary T before and after the competition (presumably due to OC's inhibition of FSH and LH). These findings have important design consequences.
