Genetic variations in the androgen receptor are associated with steroid concentrations and anthropometrics but not with muscle mass in healthy young men [PDF]
, 2014 OBJECTIVE: The relationship between serum testosterone (T) levels, muscle mass and muscle force in eugonadal men is incompletely understood. As polymorphisms in the androgen receptor (AR) gene cause differences in androgen sensitivity, no straightforward

Sex, stress and steroids [PDF]
European Journal of Neuroscience, 2019 Abstract The hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis plays a key role in the neuroendocrine response to stress and in maintaining physiological homoeostasis. However, stress that is chronic in nature can lead to HPA axis dysfunction and increase the risk for developing affective disorders, particularly if the stress is experienced ...
