Effect of FSH on testicular morphology and spermatogenesis in gonadotrophin-deficient hypogonadal mice lacking androgen receptors [PDF]

, 2010
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and androgen act to stimulate and maintain spermatogenesis. FSH acts directly on the Sertoli cells to stimulate germ cell number and acts indirectly to increase androgen production by the Leydig cells.

Androgen receptor polymorphisms and testicular cancer risk [PDF]

, 2015
Testicular cancer (TC) is currently the most common malignant solid tumour in Caucasian males aged 15-39 years. Epidemiological evidence suggests that its onset may be due to an imbalance in the action of steroidal sex hormones and their receptors.

Behavioral analysis of genetically modified mice indicates essential roles of neurosteroidal estrogen

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2011
Brain aromatase is expressed only in the nerve cells of specific brain regions with a transient peak at the neonatal period when sexual behaviors become organized. Aromatase knockout (ArKO) mouse, generated to give light on the physiological functions of

Androgen-independent events in penile development in humans and animals. [PDF]

, 2020
The common view on penile development is that it is androgen-dependent, based first and foremost on the fact that the genital tubercle forms a penis in males and a clitoris in females.

Effect of antiandrogen flutamide on measures of hepatic regeneration in rats [PDF]

, 1989
Male rat liver undergoes a process of demasculinization during hepatic regeneration following partial hepatectomy. The possibility that antiandrogens might potentiate this demasculinization process and in so doing augment the hepatic regenerative ...

Parasite-Mediated Mate Preferences in a Cooperatively Breeding Rodent

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Females of many species discriminate among males when choosing a mate and this can bear indirect and direct benefits including the avoidance of parasite transmission from infested males.

Quality of life effects of androgen deprivation therapy in a prostate cancer cohort in New Zealand: Can we minimize effects using a stratification based on the aldo-keto reductase family 1, member C3 rs12529 gene polymorphism? [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is an effective palliation treatment in men with advanced prostate cancer (PC). However, ADT has well documented side effects that could alter the patient's health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
