Objective: To characterize the cellular sites and hormonal regulation of uterine androgen receptor gene expression in the monkey.Methods: Ovariectomized rhesus monkeys (five in each group) were treated with placebo (the control group), estradiol (E2), E2 plus progesterone, or E2 plus testosterone by sustained-release pellets administered subcutaneously. After 3 days of treatment, uteri were removed and uterine sections were analyzed by in situ hybridization for androgen receptor messenger RNA (mRNA).Results: Androgen receptor mRNA was detected in endometrial stromal cells and myometrial smooth muscle cells, with lesser expression in endometrial epithelial cells. Both E2 and E2 plus progesterone treatment doubled androgen receptor mRNA levels in stromal cells (P
