The Effect of Testosterone Propionate on Nitrogen, Electrolyte, Water and Energy Metabolism in Eunuchoidism1

The Effect of Testosterone Compounds Upon the Nitrogen Balance and Creatine Excretion in Patients With Thyrotoxicosis 12

“…The calorigenic properties of methyl testosterone (8,9,15,16) or its effect upon creatine excretion (9,10,14) suggest themselves as factors that may account for these differences.…”

“…Furthermore, methyl testosterone has been reported to exert a significant calorigenic effect, in contrast to testosterone propionate, which has little or no action of this kind (8,9,15,16).…”

Androgen Therapy in 70 Cases of Advanced Mammary Carcinoma

“…Metabolic effects.-Several symptoms and signs are to be ascribed to metabolic changes, which include re-mineralization of the bones (Farrow and Woodard, 1942), retention of water, electrolytes and nitrogen (Kenyon, Sandiford, Hughes, Knowlton and Koch, 1938;Abels, Nelson, Young and Taylor, 1944), and others less easy to define. The patients become alert and active, and gain strength and weight.…”

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

“…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).…”

“…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). 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).…”
