Table 5.

Hierarchical regression testing the relationship between total amount of glasses of alcohol drank last month at the second time point (T2) and testosterone levels and left and right nucleus accumbens (NAcc) activation at the first time point (T1) and second time point (T2) for the left NAcc. Linear regressors of age are indicated by Age1, quadratic regressors of age by Age2 and cubic regressors of age by Age3. Asterisks indicate significant effects.
