Background: There are sex differences in renal ammonia metabolism and structure, many of which are mediated by testosterone. This study's goal was to determine the role of renal expression of testosterone's canonical receptor, androgen receptor (AR), in these sexual dimorphisms. Methods: We studied mice with kidney-specific AR deletion (KS-AR-KO) generated using Cre/loxP techniques; control mice were Cre-negative littermates (WT). Results: In male, but not female, mice, KS-AR-KO increased ammonia excretion, which eliminated sex differences. Although renal structural size typically parallel ammonia excretion, KS-AR-KO decreased kidney size, cortical proximal tubule volume density and cortical proximal tubule cell height in males; neither were altered in females and collecting duct volume density was unaltered in both sexes. Analysis of key protein involved in ammonia handling showed in male mice that KS-AR-KO increased both PEPCK and NKCC2 expression, and decreased NHE3 and NBCe1-A expression. In female mice, KS-AR-KO did not alter these parameters. These effects occurred even though KS-AR-KO did not alter plasma testosterone, food intake or serum Na+, K+, or HCO3- significantly in either sex. Conclusions: AR-dependent signaling pathways in male, but not female, kidney regulate PEPCK and NKCC2 expression and lead to the sexual differences in ammonia excretion. Opposing effects on NHE-3 and NBCe1-A expression likely limit the magnitude of ammonia excretion changes. Since AR is not present in the TAL, the effect of KS-AR-KO on NKCC2 expression is indirect. Finally, AR mediates the greater kidney size and PT volume density in male than in female mice.
