Essay

Analyze the following study according to the criteria set by your instructor:
"Barbara Sherwin, director of a research team at McGill University, found that a small quantity of the male hormone testosterone, in addition to estrogen, led to a spicier sex life for some postmenopausal women. Twenty-two of the McGill team's subjects were given 150 milligrams a month of testosterone with estrogen, 11 were given estrogen alone, and 11 took placebos. The testosterone group reported more desire and arousal and more frequent sexual thoughts than did the women in the other two groups.
Though 17 percent of the testosterone recipients developed mild facial hair, this side effect receded when the dosage was reduced."
