The association between testosterone and muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical function in Korean men aged 60 and older
… in men is associated with decline in serum testosterone level. Previous studies have shown that low testosterone level is an important cause of sarcopenia which contributes to development of frailty in elderly men. Sarcopenia was defined by low muscle mass in prior studies. However this …

Testosterone might be influenced by co-morbidities, not by aging
BACKGROUND: Total testosterone in men decreasing with age is well-established. However, observations on aging-related decrease in total testosterone (TT) are not consistent. The aim of this study is to seek the relationship between testosterone and health status and investigate the influence of the …

Effects of lower- and higher- volume resistance exercise on serum testosterone and skeletal muscle androgen receptor content in men : subsequent effects on the mRNA expression of insulin- like growth factor peptide and myostatin in skeletal muscle.
Testosterone is the primary sex steroid hormone within males. Testosterone effects are ubiquitous and are categorized as either anabolic or androgenic. The androgen receptor is a specific nuclear hormone receptor through which testosterone elicits its effects. Specifically, skeletal muscle has …
