Differential response of oxidative and glycolytic skeletal muscle fibers to mesterolone

Abstract Oxidative and glycolytic muscle fibers differ in their ultrastructure, metabolism, and responses to physiological stimuli and pathological insults. We examined whether these fibers respond differentially to exogenous anabolic androgenic steroids (AASs) by comparing morphological and histolo...
