Testosterone/androgen receptor antagonizes immobility-induced muscle atrophy through Inhibition of myostatin transcription and inflammation in mice

Abstract Sarcopenia is caused by excessive muscle protein degradation owing to various factors, including disuse. Although testosterone supplementation is an effective treatment, the underlying molecular mechanisms, particularly the role of the androgen receptor (AR), remain unclear. In this study,...
