Abstract

The in-depth characterization of sex differences relevant to human physiology requires the judicious use of a variety of animal models and human clinical data. Nonhuman primates (NHPs) represent an important experimental system that bridges rodent studies and clinical investigations. NHP studies have been especially useful in understanding the role of sex hormones in development and metabolism and also allow the elucidation of the effects of pertinent dietary influences on physiology pertinent to disease states such as obesity and diabetes. This chapter summarizes the current state of our understanding of androgen effects on male and female NHP metabolism relevant to hypogonadism in human males and polycystic ovary syndrome in human females. This review will also focus on the interaction between altered androgen levels and dietary restriction and excess, in particular the Western-style diet that underlies significant human pathophysiology.

  • Consequences of ectopic fat deposition may include impaired tissue hypoxia, inflammation, and insulin resistance.

    “Among prenatally androgenized NHPs, when the capacity of subcutaneous adipocytes to store fat is exceeded, excess free fatty acids may be deposited in ectopic locations such a liver and muscle; consequences of ectopic fat deposition may include impaired tissue hypoxia, inflammation, and IR [106].”
  • Early pubertal nonhuman primates treated with testosterone and a "Western style diet" with increased fat content showed increased larger visceral adipocytes, greater insulin resistance, and ectopic fat storage.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
