TASK: Your task is to answer biomedical questions using the given abstract. Only output yes, no, or maybe as answer.
INPUT: ['Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and function with age, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Current understanding of the underlying mechanisms is limited. Glucocorticoids (GC) in excess cause muscle weakness and atrophy. We hypothesized that GC may contribute to sarcopenia through elevated circulating levels or increased glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling by increased expression of either GR or the GC-amplifying enzyme 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11βHSD1) in muscle.', 'There were 82 participants; group 1 comprised 33 older men (mean age 70.2 years, SD 4.4) and 19 younger men (22.2 years, 1.7) and group 2 comprised 16 older men (79.1 years, 3.4) and 14 older women (80.1 years, 3.7). We measured muscle strength, mid-thigh cross-sectional area, fasting morning plasma cortisol, quadriceps muscle GR and 11βHSD1 mRNA, and urinary glucocorticoid metabolites. Data were analysed using multiple linear regression adjusting for age, gender and body size.', 'Muscle strength and size were not associated with plasma cortisol, total urinary glucocorticoids or the ratio of urinary 5β-tetrahydrocortisol +5α-tetrahydrocortisol to tetrahydrocortisone (an index of systemic 11βHSD activity). Muscle strength was associated with 11βHSD1 mRNA levels (β -0.35, p = 0.04), but GR mRNA levels were not significantly associated with muscle strength or size.'] Is increased skeletal muscle 11βHSD1 mRNA associated with lower muscle strength in ageing?
OUTPUT:
