[Androgen receptors in the fetus of a primate (Macaca fascicularis) : preliminary results]
Abstract
Skin fibroblasts raised from Macaca fascicularis skin samples were tested for specific androgen receptors. By the 100th day of gestation male and female skin fibroblasts androgen receptors were detected. Higher levels of androgen receptors were found in sex skin fibroblasts. These preliminary results suggest that this primate could be used as a good model for the study of androgen receptors ontogenesis and regulation.
