PubMed: Increased Muscular 5α-Dihydrotestosterone in Response to Resistance Training Relates to Skeletal Muscle Mass and Glucose Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetic Rats

DHT improves glucose metabolism in diabetic rats, researchers divided them into 3 groups: sedentary, resistant training, 5a reductase inhibitors + resistance training.

Resistance training dropped fasting blood glucose drastically.
