Extra?!

Is ", but not women," extra in:
" In men, but not women, blood serotonin in a general population sample of 21-year-olds was related to past-year self-reported and lifetime court-recorded violence "

and thus, may it be ignored?

It is not 'extra'; it is making the point clear. Don't forget that 'men' also means 'humans'.
