Expression of 5α- and 5β-reductase in spinal cord and muscle of birds with different courtship repertoires
BACKGROUND: Through the actions of one or more isoforms of the enzyme 5α-reductase in many male reproductive tissues, circulating testosterone (T) undergoes metabolic conversion into 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which binds to and activates androgen receptors (AR) with greater potency than T. In bi...
