Castration-Induced Upregulation of Muscle ERα Supports Estrogen Sensitivity of Motoneuron Dendrites in a Sexually Dimorphic Neuromuscular System

The spinal cord of rats contains the sexually dimorphic motoneurons of the spinal nucleus of the bulbocavernosus (SNB). In males, SNB dendrites fail to grow after castration, but androgen or estrogen treatment supports dendritic growth in castrated males. Estrogenic support of SNB dendrite growth is...
