Barsky S, Monks D
Endocrinology
. 2024 Feb;
165(3).
PMID: 38301268
Androgenic actions of gonadal testosterone are thought to be a major mechanism promoting sex differences in body composition across the lifespan. However, this inference is based on studies of androgen...

Barsky S, Monks D
Front Neuroendocrinol
. 2023 Sep;
71:101101.
PMID: 37669703
Androgens' pleiotropic actions in promoting sex differences present not only a challenge to providing a comprehensive account of their function, but also an opportunity to gain insights by comparing androgenic...

Barsky S, Monks D
Biol Sex Differ
. 2022 Oct;
13(1):59.
PMID: 36274144
Muscle-specific androgen receptor (AR) overexpression (HSAAR transgene) in sedentary male rats results in reduced adiposity, increased mitochondrial enzyme activity, and selective increase in Type 2b myofiber size. Here, we tested...

Boonstra R, Mo K, Monks D
Biol Lett
. 2014 Nov;
10(11):20140734.
PMID: 25376801
Androgens have benefits, such as promoting muscle growth, but also significant costs, including suppression of immune function. In many species, these trade-offs in androgen action are reflected in regulated androgen...

Horm Behav
. 2008 Mar;
53(5):729-40.
PMID: 18321505
Kennedy Disease/Spinal Bulbar Muscular Atrophy (KD/SBMA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by genetic polyglutamine expansion of the androgen receptor. We have recently found that overexpression of wildtype androgen receptor...

Monks D, Johansen J, Mo K, Rao P, Eagleson B, Yu Z, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2007 Nov;
104(46):18259-64.
PMID: 17984063
We created transgenic mice that overexpress WT androgen receptor (AR) exclusively in their skeletal muscle fibers. Unexpectedly, these mice display androgen-dependent muscle weakness and early death, show changes in muscle...

Dev Neurobiol
. 2007 Oct;
68(1):115-22.
PMID: 17948238
The bulbocavernosus (BC) and levator ani (LA) muscles of rats show remarkable androgen-dependent sexual dimorphism. These muscles are additionally of interest because they are thought to indirectly mediate sexual differentiation...

J Comp Neurol
. 2004 Apr;
473(1):59-72.
PMID: 15067718
Potential cellular targets of androgen action within skeletal muscle of the rat were determined by comparing the cellular distribution of androgen receptor (AR)-positive nuclei in the highly androgen-responsive levator ani...
