Abstract

Objective: It remains unknown if myonuclei remain elevated post Anabolic Androgenic Steroid (AAS) usage in humans. Limited data exists on AAS induced changes in gene expression. Design: Cross-sectional/longitudinal. Setting: University.Participants: Fifty-six males aged 20-42.Independent Variables:...

Limited data exists on AAS induced changes in gene expression. Design: Cross-sectional/longitudinal. Setting: University.Participants: Fifty-six males aged 20-42.Independent Variables: Non-resistance trained (C) or resistance trained (RT), RT-currently using AAS (RT-AS), of which if AAS usage ceased for ≥18 weeks re-sampled as Returning Participants (RP) or RT-previously using AAS (PREV). Main Outcome Measures: Myonuclei per fibre and cross-sectional area (CSA) of trapezius muscle fibres.
