May 1988 in “Clinical Endocrinology” The document explored the use of fibroblasts as a model to study androgen-resistant states, focusing on conditions like androgen insensitivity syndrome. It highlighted the role of fibroblasts in understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying androgen resistance. The research provided insights into the genetic and biochemical aspects of androgen receptor function and its abnormalities, which could lead to conditions such as male pseudohermaphroditism. The study contributed to the broader understanding of how androgen resistance could manifest and be investigated at the cellular level, although specific details about the number of participants or experimental methods were not provided.
