Research
90-120 / 1000+ results research Testosterone metabolites differentially maintain adult morphology in a sexually dimorphic neuromuscular system
Androgens are essential for maintaining adult neuromuscular structure.
research 1406 DETECTION OF MEMBRANE ANDROGEN-BINDING SITE IN LIVING RAT PROSTATE AND EVALUATION OF ITS ROLE IN PROSTATE BLOOD FLOW REGULATION
The research found that androgens help control blood flow in the rat prostate through a specific binding site.
research Novel Missense Mutation in the P-Box of Androgen Receptor in a Patient with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
A new mutation linked to partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome and prostate cancer was found in a patient unhappy with their female gender assignment.
research Studies on neurosteroids XXIV. Determination of neuroactive androgens, androsterone and 5α‐androstane‐3α,17β‐diol, in rat brain and serum using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
The methods accurately measured brain androgens, showing most 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol comes from outside the brain, while androsterone is both transported and made in the brain.
research Regional Variation in Androgen Receptor Expression and Biomechanical Properties May Contribute to Cryptorchidism Susceptibility in the LE/orl Rat
Differences in androgen receptor expression and tissue properties may lead to higher cryptorchidism risk in certain rats.
research New Nonsteroidal Molecules as Blockers of the Steroidogenic Pathway
New nonsteroidal molecules can potentially increase dihydrotestosterone in neurons by blocking certain enzymes, without affecting prostate and seminal vesicle weight.
research Sexual steroid regulation of spermatogenesis: new actors enter the stage
Estrogens and androgens are crucial for male fertility.
research Visualising Androgen Receptor Activity in Male and Female Mice
Androgen receptors are active in many tissues of both male and female mice, not just reproductive organs.
research Genetic Analysis of Androgen Receptors in Development and Disease
The document concludes that the androgen receptor's structure and function are complex, affecting how it regulates genes and is involved in diseases like prostate cancer.
research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Structural perspectives on the androgen receptor, the elusive shape-shifter
The androgen receptor's shape-changing ability helps it function but can lead to cancer treatment resistance.
research Molecular mechanisms of androgen receptor functions
Androgen receptors play a key role in male development and prostate cancer, with treatments targeting androgen action.
research Steroidogenesis of the testis – new genes and pathways
New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.
research Androgen-induced norepinephrine release in male accessory sex organ smooth muscle growth and differentiation
Androgens increase norepinephrine release, promoting smooth muscle growth in male sex organs, which may contribute to benign prostatic hypertrophy.
research Myocyte Androgen Receptor Modulates Body Composition and Metabolic Parameters
Activating androgen receptors in muscle can increase muscle mass and reduce fat.
research Cultured human skin fibroblasts: a model for the study of androgen action
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research In vitro [7-3H]-testosterone metabolism by the rat ventral prostate—Effect of some exogenous compounds
research Molecular basis of androgen insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause androgen insensitivity, leading to female traits in genetically male individuals.
research [Epididymis in an experimental model of DHT deficiency: immunolocalization of ERalpha and ERbeta in rat epididymal epithelial cells. In vivo and in vitro studies].
DHT deficiency may disrupt rat epididymis function by affecting estrogen receptors.
research Steroidogenesis inhibitors alter but do not eliminate androgen synthesis mechanisms during progression to castration-resistance in LNCaP prostate xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research Development of prostate cancer in a patient with primary hypogonadism: intratumoural steroidogenesis in prostate cancer tissues
Prostate cancer can progress even with low testosterone due to internal hormone production in the tumor.

Blocking androgen receptors early in life increases estrogen levels and reduces sexual motivation in male rats.
research Early androgen activity after birth determines the hypothalamic expression of androgen and estrogen receptors in adulthood in female but not in male rats
Early androgen exposure affects hormone receptor expression in adult female rats' brains, but not in males.
research Significance of the polyglutamine tract polymorphism in the androgen receptor
