Molecular responsiveness to testosterone is uncoupled from skeletal muscle mass and strength in males aged 18 - 80 years

Ross M. Williams, Megan Soria, Annabel J. Critchlow, Karel Van Belleghem, Viktor Engman, ANDREW P. GARNHAM, Danielle Hiam, Glenn David Wadley, Séverine Lamon

This study shows that free testosterone is linked to skeletal muscle transcriptome changes but not to muscle mass or strength in males aged 18-80.

MetAR: A semi-automated meta-analysis of skeletal muscle androgen receptors association with age

Ross M. Williams, Viktor Engman, Megan Soria, Glenn David Wadley, Danielle Hiam, Séverine Lamon

This study uses a novel R-based pipeline, MetAR, to analyze RNA-seq datasets and finds that androgen receptor expression declines with age in human skeletal muscle.

The transcriptomic signature of age and sex is not conserved in human primary myocytes

Séverine Lamon, Megan Soria, Ross M. Williams, Annabel J. Critchlow, Karel Van Belleghem, ANDREW P. GARNHAM, Akriti Varshney, Traude Helene Beilharz, Danielle Hiam, Mark Ziemann

The study compares the transcriptomic profiles of human muscle biopsies and their derived primary myocytes, finding minimal retention of age and sex-related gene expression patterns in culture.

Total testosterone is not associated with muscle mass, function or exercise adaptations in pre-menopausal females

Sarah E. Alexander, Briana Gatto, Olivia Knowles, Ross M. Williams, Kinga N. Fiebig, Paul Jansons, Paul A. Della Gatta, ANDREW P. GARNHAM, Nir Eynon, Glenn David Wadley, Brad Aisbett, Danielle Hiam, Séverine Lamon

This study finds that total testosterone is not linked to muscle mass or strength in pre-menopausal females, but bioavailable testosterone and nuclear-localized androgen receptor are associated with muscle hypertrophy.
