research Basics of Androgen Synthesis and Action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Disruptors of Androgen Action and Synthesis
Certain pesticides and fungicides can interfere with male hormone functions, potentially causing reproductive issues in male rats.
research Design, Synthesis, and Biological Characterization of Metabolically Stable Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators
