Urinary sex steroid and glucocorticoid hormones are associated with muscle mass and strength in healthy adults

Sex steroid hormones exhibit anabolic effects whereas a deficiency engenders sarcopenia. Moreover, supraphysiological levels of glucocorticoids promote skeletal muscle atrophy, whereas physiologic levels of glucocorticoids may improve muscle performance.
