Androgen Receptors and Muscle Growth: Challenging Expectations

This chapter explores the intricate role of androgen receptors in muscle hypertrophy, revealing surprising findings from a study on untrained individuals. It underscores the lack of a direct correlation between androgen receptor density and muscle growth responses, prompting a reevaluation of existing hypotheses. The discussion extends to the effects of antihypertensive medications on exercise-induced blood pressure changes, particularly in those with hypertension, highlighting the complexities of blood pressure management during physical activity.
