Effect of intratesticular administration of anti-corticotropin-releasing factor antiserum (a-CRF) on testicular function in neonatal rats.

abstract：:Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is an X-linked disorder due to mutations of androgen receptor (AR) gene. Various AR mutations have been identified, and the characterisation of these mutations greatly facilitates our understanding of AR structure-function. In this study, we have analysed an AR missense mutation (...
