BUDAPEST, Hungary, March 9 (UPI) -- Anger, hostility and aggression may be genetic in women, research released in Budapest, Hungary, said.
"Aggression and hostility are predictors of hypertension, glucose metabolism and heart diseases," said Dr. Indrani Halder of the University of Pittsburgh, who planned to present her findings at the American Psychosomatic Society's Annual Meeting in Budapest.
"The genetic marker we found for hostility also may be useful for predicting a person's predisposition to such diseases," she said.
Her research looked at the relationship between variations in a serotonin receptor gene and anger and hostility. Previous research has linked serotonin, a hormone, with anger and aggression. The new research sought to determine whether the relationship was genetic.
The research was based on 550 unrelated women of European descent.

"If we could only channel this in a positive direction..."
Like their sex drive, (the post marriage one, the beginning of the relationship sex drive does pretty good).
Amen brother.
Be careful, we are lurking and getting very angry:)
Being Friday night and all, I was hoping for it going in the other direction.
And I usually never even knew it ticked them off in the first place!
For my sanity, I gave up trying to understand years ago.
Cheers!
You men should read "For Men Only" by Jeff Feldhahn. Or, "Men Are Like Waffles, Women Like Spaghetti". It would help you to understand us and why we do some of the things we do, and why we cannot help doing some of the things we do no matter how much pain we cause ourselves...and you.
So you were married to my EX-WIFE also...LOL
I just don't understand any of them, and in my opinion, that's the way it's supposed to be.
I'll always have wine and cigars!
We don't need to read a book to comprehend why your behavior is self-destructive. You want attention and you want testicles, but God deprived you of both, so you want to vent on the nearest object, which is usually a man trying to be compassionate. On Family Feud, they asked 100 men "If you were stranded for the rest of your life on a desert island, would you rather it be with a man or a woman?" 85% said a man. They then asked the same question of 100 women, and 85% of the women said "A man." When women don't even want to be around women, don't tell us we need to read a book.
That must have been a nasty divorce.
How's the divorce going?
Iced tea and body armor, please.
