Abstract excerpt
In C3H mice, a major component of susceptibility to the diabetogenic action of an obesity mutation (diabetes, db) is male gender associated. We tested whether increased male susceptibility was an androgen receptor mediated process. C3H.SW/Lt-derived db/db males were rendered androgen-receptor fun...
