## Abstract The “levator ani” muscle of male rats provides a neuromuscular system in which both the muscle and its motoneurons have high levels of androgen receptors. Two weeks of castration caused a 48% loss of acetylcholine receptors in this muscle. One week of testosterone propionate injections

The levator ani muscle (LA) of the rat is highly androgen-sensitive and, like all skeletal muscles, deteriorates structurally and functionally when denervated. In order to elucidate the interplay of neural and endocrine influences, the separate and combined effects of denervation and castration on m

We studied motor unit (MU) firing rate and contractile properties and myosin isoform composition of single muscle fibers after upper motoneuron lesion. Single MUs and surface electromyogram (EMG) were recorded during voluntary contractions and locomotion in the paretic (P) and nonparetic (NP) tibial
