Modulation of testosterone-dependent male sexual behavior and the associated neuroplasticity

Highlights • Testosterone is able to trigger a vast number of physiological and behavioral events. • Testosterone can be aromatized to activate estrogen receptors. • Activation of estrogen receptors α or β activates male sexual behavior in quail. • The specificity of testosterone action is related t...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Testosterone is able to trigger a vast number of physiological and behavioral events. • Testosterone can be aromatized to activate estrogen receptors. • Activation of estrogen receptors α or β activates male sexual behavior in quail. • The specificity of testosterone action is related to steroid receptor coactivators. • Steroid metabolizing enzymes, receptors and coactivators interact in a complex manner.
