Abstract
Androgen receptor (AR) content has been implicated in the differential response between high and low responders following resistance exercise training (RET). However, the influence of AR expression on acute skeletal muscle damage and whether it may influence the adaptive response to RET in females is poorly understood. Thus, the purpose of this exploratory examination was to 1) investigate changes in AR content during skeletal muscle repair and 2) characterize AR-mediated sex-based differences following RET. A skeletal muscle biopsy from the vastus lateralis was obtained from 26 healthy young men (n = 13) and women (n = 13) at baseline and following 300 eccentric kicks. Subsequently, participants performed 10 weeks of full-body RET and a final muscle biopsy was collected. In the untrained state, AR mRNA expression was associated with paired box protein-7 (PAX7) mRNA in males. For the first time in human skeletal muscle, we quantified AR content in the myofiber and localized to the nucleus where AR has been shown to trigger cellular outcomes related to growth. Upon eccentric damage, nuclear-associated AR (nAR) content increased (p < .05) in males and not females. Males with the greatest increase in cross-sectional area (CSA) post-RET had more (p < .05) nAR content than females with the greatest gain CSA. Collectively, skeletal muscle damage and RET increased AR protein, and both gene and hypertrophy measures revealed sex differences in relation to AR. These findings suggest that AR content but more importantly, nuclear localization, is a factor that differentiates RET-induced hypertrophy between males and females.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
