Androgens are a class of steroid hormones primarily associated with male sexual
development and physiology, but exert pleiotropic effects in either sex. They have a crucial …

An increasing number of studies have reported that androgens and androgen receptors
(AR) play important roles in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. Impaired …

Aging induces a slow and progressive decrease in muscle mass and function, causing
