Abstract excerpt
Men are significantly more susceptible to non-melanoma skin cancers than women, and the androgen receptor (AR) is widely distributed in the skin, suggesting a ro\le for androgens acting via AR. Therefore, we explored the role of androgen action via AR in susceptibility to experimental 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced skin carcinogenesis and in skin structural development of male and female mice. We...
