Androgens act upon androgen receptors (AR) which are expressed in many tissues. In the brain, AR are abundant in hypothalamic nuclei involved in regulation of reproduction and energy homeostasis, yet the role of androgens acting via AR in specific neuronal populations has not been fully elucidated. Leptin receptor (LepRb)\u2013expressing neurons coexpress AR predominantly in hypothalamic arcuate and ventral premammillary nuclei (ARH and PMv, respectively), with low colocalization in other LepRb neuronal populations, and very low colocalization in the pituitary gland and gonads. Deletion of AR from LepRb-expressing cells (LepRb\u0394AR) has no effect on body weight, energy expenditure, and glucose homeostasis in male and female mice. However, LepRb\u0394AR female mice show increased body length later in life, whereas male LepRb\u0394AR mice show an increase in spontaneous ambulatory activity. LepRb\u0394AR mice display typical pubertal timing, estrous cycles, and fertility, but increased testosterone levels in males. Removal of sex steroid negative feedback action induced an exaggerated rise in luteinizing hormone in LepRb\u0394AR males and follicle-stimulating hormone in LepRb\u0394AR females. Our findings show that AR can directly affect a subset of ARH and PMv neurons in a sex-specific manner and demonstrate specific androgenic actions in the neuroendocrine hypothalamus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/endocr\/bqaa110","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,1]],"date-time":"2020-07-01T17:44:14Z","timestamp":1593625454000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Lack
