Second cohort to test of role of testicular hormones in butyrate-enhanced CTA, follow-up to DMX Orchiectomy and Butyrate-Enhanced CTA.
Mukherjee showed that HDAC inhibitors butyrate and calproate enchanced CTA in male but not female rats. Ovariectomy did not make female rats sensitive, so testing if orchiectomy reduces sensitivity of male rats.
