Androgen receptor gene microsatellite polymorphism is associated with muscle mass and strength in bodybuilders and power athlete status

Background The androgen receptor (AR) gene contains a polymorphic trinucleotide (CAG) microsatellite repeat sequence (short or long alleles) that has been associated with fat-free mass in untrained men, which needs to be replicated in athletic cohorts. Aim The purpose of this study was to explore th...
