The relationship of testosterone and AR CAG repeat genotype with knee extensor muscle function of young and older men

The inter-relationship between muscle strength and serum testosterone is not fully understood, and may be confounded or influenced by age. The polymorphism of androgen receptor gene CAG number (AR CAGn) could also influence these variables. The study examined the relationship between total testoster...

description The inter-relationship between muscle strength and serum testosterone is not fully understood, and may be confounded or influenced by age. The polymorphism of androgen receptor gene CAG number (AR CAGn) could also influence these variables. The study examined the relationship between total testosterone (TT), free testosterone (FT) and AR CAGn with the muscle strength of young (YM, 18–30yrs, n=82) and older (OM, 60–70yrs, n=101) Caucasian men. Knee extensor strength was measured isometrically and isokinetically, and thigh and whole-body lean mass of the OM was determined by DXA. TT and serum hormone binding globulin (SHBG) were assayed by ELISA and used to calculate FT. AR CAGn was determined using polymerase chain reaction and microchip electrophoresis. OM were weaker than YM (−20 to −29%, all P

In the OM only, FT had a weak positive association with all three strength measures (r2=4.1–9.3%, P&lt;0.036) and both whole body and thigh lean mass (r2=6.1–8.6%; P&lt;0.013). Muscle strength was unrelated to AR CAGn for either the YM or OM, or when data were collapsed across both age groups (age normalised strength). Lean mass in the older cohort was also independent of AR CAGn. In conclusion, FT, but not TT or AR CAGn, was positively associated with muscle strength, but only as values declined with age. ► Free testosterone (FT) and AR genotype CAGn may be related to muscle strength. ► These relationships may be influenced or confounded by age. ► In older men FT was weakly associated with muscle strength and muscularity. ► Muscle strength was unrelated to AR genotype CAGn. ► There may be an increasing influence of FT on muscle function with age.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0531-5565</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1873-6815</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2012.03.013</identifier><identifier>PMID: 22484019</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: Elsevier Inc</publisher><subject>Adolescent ; Adult ; Aged ; Aging - blood ; Aging - genetics ; Androgen receptor ; Androgens ; Body Composition - physiology ; Genetics ; Humans ; Isometric Contraction - physiology ; Knee Joint - physiology ; Male ; Middle Aged ; Muscle function ; Muscle Strength - genetics ; Muscle Strength - physiology ; Muscle, Skeletal - physiology ; Polymorphism, Genetic ; Receptors, Androgen - genetics ; Strength ; Testosterone - blood ; Testosterone - physiology ; Trinucleotide Repeats ; Young Adult</subject><ispartof>Experimental gerontology, 2012-06, Vol.47 (6), p.437-443</ispartof><rights>2012</rights><rights>Crown Copyright © 2012.
