In addition to our survey, we have also done some research through the internet and sherlock and have found some web pages and books that may help us in our study. We need to make a trip to the library to get the books and look them over, but as for some of the web pages, we found one that discusses aggression in rats, which was loosely linked to testosterone levels. There is also an article which discusses the possiblility of nitric oxide being a factor in aggressive behavior. We may look into this possibility, but our main focus is on testosterone and aggression.
