Testosterone and muscle memory study
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether taking testosterone can help muscles 'remember' past strength training. You may be able to join if you are healthy, don't smoke, and have not been lifting weights regularly in the last year.
