Competitive androgen receptor antagonists are used to treat prostate cancer but, even in the presence of such drugs, overexpression of androgen receptors can drive cellular proliferation ...

These included genetic models such as androgen receptor knockout mice and chronic androgen exposure in females using dihydrotestosterone (DHT) implants. Subsequently, they analyzed DNA from ...
