  1. Note: The increased mRNA levels of IGF-1R and mTOR were found in the gastrocnemius of resistance training rats and in the soleus of endurance training rats. Flutamide reversed the trainings-induced changes in IGF-1R and mTOR at mRNA level. C Control, F Flutamide embedded, R Resistance training, R + F Resistance training plus flutamide embedded, E Endurance training, E + F Endurance training plus flutamide embedded. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs C; #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 vs the relative training groups
