Recognition and working memory task performance
no changein rhesus monkeys1
Testosterone + dehydroepiandrosterone showed no clear effect on recognition and working memory task performance in rhesus monkeys (compared with age-matched controls).
“However, there were no differences between the androgen supplemented animals and age-matched controls.”

Testosterone + dehydroepiandrosterone showed no clear effect on daytime activity in rhesus monkeys.
“However, there was no difference between the androgen-supplemented old animals and the aged-matched controls, even after 6 months of treatment.”
