Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

The steroid crosses the plasma membrane and combines with a steroid receptor in the cell. These then travel to the nucleus, where they can influence gene expression that results in an increase in proteins that will increase muscle mass and strength. In addition, satellite cells proliferate and stimulate myotube formation, which helps in the formation of new muscle fibers, and there is also an increase in the conversion of stem cells into muscle cells, as opposed to forming adipose cells.
