Abstract excerpt
Dopamine and the sex hormone testosterone are important factors regulating male sexual behavior. To investigate the possibility that these two factors are functionally interrelated, we investigated the potential role of the androgen receptor (AR) on transcriptional activity of the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene that encodes the rate-limiting enzyme of the dopamine biosynthesis pathway. In this study, using...
