The Effect of Castration on Peripheral Autonomic Neurons Supplying Mammalian Male Genitourinary System
2021
International Journal of Molecular Sciences
This review paper deals with the influence of androgens (testosterone) on pelvic autonomic pathways in male mammals. The vast majority of the relevant information has been gained in experiments involving castration (testosterone deprivation) performed in male rats, and recently, in male pigs. In both species, testosterone significantly affects the biology of the pathway components, including the pelvic neurons. However, there are great differences between rats and pigs in this respect.
