Androgen receptors mediate masculinization of astrocytes in the rat posterodorsal medial amygdala during puberty.

The Journal of comparative neurology - 1 Jul 2013

Johnson Ryan T, Breedlove S Marc, Jordan Cynthia L

Abstract excerpt

Astrocytes in the posterodorsal portion of the medial amygdala (MePD) are sexually dimorphic in adult rats: males have more astrocytes in the right MePD and more elaborate processes in the left MePD than do females. Functional androgen receptors (ARs) are required for masculinization of MePD astr...
