Neuroprotective effects of testosterone on dendritic morphology following partial motoneuron depletion: efficacy in female rats.

Wilson RE, Coons KD, Sengelaub DR (2009) Neuroprotective effects of testosterone on dendritic morphology following partial motoneuron depletion: efficacy in female rats. Neurosci Lett 465:123-127. doi: 10.1016/j.neulet.2009.09.007 Summary: Previous work has demonstrated a protective effect from testosterone in a motoneuron nerve injury model for male rats. This work investigated whether testosterone has the same effect
