2022, Auris Nasus LarynxCitation Excerpt :Both testosterone and E2 protect against cell death, promote functional recovery, and stimulate motoneuron axonal growth after peripheral nerve injury [27–32]. The effects of androgens on target tissue appear to be exerted by an androgen receptor (AR)-dependent mechanism [33–35]. AR regulates the maturation of male motor functions, including neuromuscular junctions, regeneration after resection, adult dendrite, and axon growth and plasticity [36–40].

2014, Journal of Sexual MedicineCitation Excerpt :The importance of androgens for peripheral nerve regeneration after crush injury is well established in animal models. Treatment of hamsters with exogenous testosterone increases axonal regeneration rates and functional recovery of the facial nerve after crush injury [21]. Axonal regeneration is mediated by neuritin, a protein closely associated with re‐establishment of neuronal connectivity after injury.
