Official Title: Does Human Skeletal Muscle Possess an Epigenetic Memory of Testosterone?
Brief Summary:
This project's primary aim of this double-blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled trial is to investigate whether short-term testosterone administration +/- resistance exercise training induces a muscle memory response that can lead to longer-lasting benefits in aged human skeletal muscle.The investigators will provide older men with the anabolic hormone, testosterone or placebo, with or without resistance training, followed by a period of testosterone abstinence and detraining, followed by a subsequent…
