Sex differences in brain aromatase activity: genomic and non-genomic controls

Sex differences in brain aromatase activity: genomic and non-genomic controls

Aromatization of testosterone into estradiol in the preoptic area plays a critical role in the activation of male copulation in quail and in many other vertebrate species. Aromatase expression in quail and in other birds is higher than in rodents and other mammals, which has facilitated the study of...
