Species differences in androgen receptor expression in the medial preoptic and anterior hypothalamic areas of adult male and female rodents

Highlights • The overall expression of brain androgen receptor was stronger in the mouse than in the rat. • ‘OECI’ was identified as the putative SDN–MPN in the mouse. • AR expression in the suprachiasmatic nucleus was more prominent in the mouse than in the rat. • Male-dominant mouse-specific (TDN)...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • The overall expression of brain androgen receptor was stronger in the mouse than in the rat. • ‘OECI’ was identified as the putative SDN–MPN in the mouse. • AR expression in the suprachiasmatic nucleus was more prominent in the mouse than in the rat. • Male-dominant mouse-specific (TDN) & rat-specific (RNI/CNI) clusters were clarified. • Data on AR from one species should not always be directly applied to another one.
