[A comparative evaluation of the biochemical and psychopathological characteristics in subjects with signs of pedophilia].
RIA was employed to examine 54 test subjects who committed sexual crimes with regard to children of tender age. A syndrome of sexual perversions in the form of pedophilia was discovered in 42 persons. Different patients' groups manifested significant differences in the content of hypophyseal and sexual hormones in the blood serum. A significant lowering of testosterone was revealed in persons with heterosexual pedophilia and with pedophilia without any aggressive and sadistic disorders. They also demonstrated a high prolactin content.
