Research Resource: The Androgen Receptor Modulates Expression of Genes with Critical Roles in Muscle Development and Function

Abstract excerpt

Androgen signaling through the androgen receptor (AR), a ligand-dependent transcription factor within the steroid receptor superfamily, plays an important role in the development and maintenance of many tissues. In muscle, androgens act as anabolic agents that increase both muscle mass and strength; however, a key unanswered question is the mechanism through which AR-mediated gene expression leads to these...
