The Effect of Testosterone and Allied Compounds on the Mineral, Nitrogen, and Carbohydrate Metabolism of a Girl With Addison's Disease 12

Interrelationships of Some Metabolic Effects of Testosterone Propionate in Normal Males During Restricted Sodium Intake 12

“…Since a high ratio of potassium to nitrogen retention has been noted previously during the initial period of T.P. administration (4,6,28), this effect does not depend on the dietary restrictions of the present study.…”

“…During the second five days of hormone administration the weight gain and water retention were approximately proportional to the nitrogen retention in this group. 4. Net potassium retention during T.P.…”

“…has been used to stimulate protein anabolism in a variety of clinical conditions (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). Metabolic studies have repeatedly demonstrated that the hormone produces nitrogen retention and an increase in body weight in normal subjects as well as in hypogonad individuals (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6).…”

“…Metabolic studies have repeatedly demonstrated that the hormone produces nitrogen retention and an increase in body weight in normal subjects as well as in hypogonad individuals (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6). However, there are discrepancies between the amount of weight gained and the amount of tissue synthesis calculated from the nitrogen retention (1)(2)(3)(4)6). Usually the weight gain is greater than the calculated tissue synthesis but occasionally considerable nitrogen retention occurs without a parallel increase in body weight (7).…”
