Identification of Androgen Receptors in the Motoneurons of the External Urethral Sphincter in the Spinal Cord of Female Rats

Our study demonstrated the presence of androgen receptors in the cell bodies of retrogradely labeled pudendal motoneurons controlling the urethral sphincter of female rats suggesting a role of androgens in the neuromodulation of urethral sphincter function at the spinal level.
