Testosterone, 8‐Oxo‐2′‐Deoxyguanosine (8‐OHdG) and Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) in Adult Shuar Males of Amazonian Ecuador: A Test for Evidence of Trade‐Offs Between Reproductive Effort and Oxidative Stress
Oxidative stress may not be a cost of reproductive effort in this population of adult males; perhaps due to consistently low testosterone levels in non-industrialized populations, differences in the metabolic cost of reproductive effort between males and females (i.e., aerobic metabolism), and/or study limitations based on cross-sectional measures of oxidative stress and testosterone.
