Intermittent glucocorticoid treatment enhances skeletal muscle performance through sexually dimorphic mechanisms
Glucocorticoid steroids are commonly prescribed for many inflammatory conditions, but chronic daily use produces adverse effects, including muscle wasting and weakness. In contrast, shorter glucocorticoid pulses may improve athletic performance, although the mechanisms remain unclear. Muscle is sexu...
