Below is a list of hormones relevant to emotional regulation, including anger, along with the percentage differences in their typical levels between adult men and women. Please note that hormone levels can vary widely among individuals due to factors such as age, menstrual cycle phase in women, time of day, health status, and laboratory methods. The percentages provided are approximate and intended to illustrate general differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
