TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Androgen Receptors, Sex Behaviour, and Aggression JO - Neuroendocrinology A1 - Cunningham, Rebecca L. A1 - Lumia, Augustus R. A1 - McGinnis, Marilyn Y. SP - 131 EP - 140 VL - 96 IS - 2 N2 - Androgens are intricately involved in reproductive and aggressive behaviours, but the role of the androgen receptor in mediating these behaviours is less defined. Further, activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis can influence each other at the level of the androgen receptor. Knowledge of the mechanisms for androgens' effects on behaviours through the androgen receptor will guide future studies in elucidating male reproductive and aggressive behaviour repertoires.
