## 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 potential effect of different classes of steroids on the expression of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) was studied in different primary cultures of newborn-rat skeletal muscle cells. Comparison among three techniques for preparing newborn skeletal muscle cells showed that these systems were equiv
