Testosterone and Its Effects on Human Male Adolescent Mood and Behavior: A Systematic Review
During human puberty, there is an approximate 30-fold increase in testosterone production in boys.

The aim of this systematic review was to determine what evidence exists on the effects of endogenous testosterone on behavior and mood in males during adolescence.
