Androgen Binding Sites in Human Temporal Cortex
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have characterized putative androgen receptor binding sites in five separate biopsy samples of human temporal cortex from epilepsy patients using an in vitro exchange assay with soluble fractions and [3H]5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone as radioligand. The results revealed highly specific, saturable binding with an apparent affinity constant (Kd) of approximately 2 nM with a moderate capacity (Bmax) of approximately 50 fmol/mg protein. In competition studies, we found that only testosterone and 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone competed effectively (i.e. at low nanomolar concentrations) for [3H]5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone binding sites. These data indicate the presence of androgen receptors in human cortex that are pharmacologically very similar to that previously described in rodent and infrahuman primate CNS, and suggest the existence of a possible mechanism whereby circulating androgens might influence neuronal events in human cortex.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
