Stress and Testosterone

Here's a fascinating article that talks about the relationship between testosterone, stress, and the immune response.  For years, researchers have thought that elevated testosterone levels led to a suppressed immune system.  Now it is hypothesized that the immune system is merely redistributing its resources, mostly to the skin.  I love these types of biological theories that attempt to explain things from an evolutionary point of view.
