Abstract
Androgens exert a significant influence on the cellular architecture, protein synthesis, immune function and secretory activity of the lacrimal gland.1 In fact, these hormone effects appear to account for many of the gender-related differences that occur in the anatomy, biochemistry, physiology and immunology of lacrimal tissue in a variety of species.1 We hypothesize that androgen actions are mediated primarily through androgen receptors, which exist in lacrimal gland epithelial cells,2–4 and involve the regulation of specific target genes. The purpose of this investigation was to identify the genes controlled by androgens in lacrimal tissue.
