Molecular insights into androgen actions in male and female reproductive function from androgen receptor knockout models
15 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Androgens and the androgen receptor (AR) have well known roles in male reproduction, and recent genetic mouse models inactivating the Ar gene have conclusively defined a role for androgens in female reproduction. In males, AR gene inactivation severely disrupts spermatogenesis by interrupting completion of meiosis, thereby eliminating production of mature sperm leading to male sterility. These effects...
