Androgenic Action of Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on Nerve Density in the Ovariectomized Rat Vagina

Considering that the antiestrogen acolbifene had no inhibitory effect on the effect of DHEA in rat vagina while blocking the stimulatory effect of premarin, the present data indicate that DHEA exerts its stimulatory effect on the fiber density through an androgenic action.
