Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) led to significantly higher androgen receptor mRNA expression in ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMH) and periventricular nucleus of the medial striatum (pvMSt), but not in other brain regions examined. Graphs depict the mean ± SEM. Asterisks denote significant differences at P ≤ 0.05. Preoptic area along the septopalliomesencephalic tract (POA TSM), POA (midline): DHEA, n = 5; control, n = 5; VMH, medial pre‐optic area (mPOA), pvMSt, medial part of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BSTM): DHEA, n = 6; control, n = 6. Graphs depict the mean ± SEM. Asterisks denote significant differences at P ≤ 0.05.
