Fargo KN, Foster AM, Sengelaub DR (2009) Neuroprotective effect of testosterone treatment on motoneuron recruitment following the death of nearby motoneurons. Dev Neurobiol 69:825-835. doi: 10.1002/dneu.20743
Summary: Previous work has demonstrated that testosterone treatment can prevent dendritic atrophy due to death of nearby motoneurons. This experiment examined whether this protection extends to motor activation. Rats received a 1 µg injection of CTB-SAP (Cat. #IT-14) into each of the right bulbocavernosus and levator ani muscles. Animals treated with testosterone preserved more of the activity duration than untreated animals, as well as no decrease in motoneuron recruitment.
