SNB dendritic maintenance in adulthood requires androgens. (Left) Darkfield digital micrographs of transverse sections through the lumbar spinal cord of an adult normal male (top) and a castrated male (bottom) after injection of horseradish peroxidase conjugated to the cholera toxin B subunit (BHRP), into the left BC muscle. (Right) SNB dendritic lengths expressed as length of arbor per labeled motoneuron for gonadally intact males, castrated males, and castrates treated with testosterone (T). Bar heights represent means ± SEM. (Data after Kurz et al., 1986.)
