Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

Testosterone propionate is the esterified form of testosterone that is most commonly used in clinical applications for the treatment of hypogonadism, oligospermia, and impotence. 17β-hydroxyl group of propionate is esterified to get this form. It is a fast and short-acting form when compared to enanthate and cypionate forms, which are long-acting esters more commonly used in androgen replacement therapies.

Anwendung

Testosterone propionate has been used:

• to determine the effect of testosterone on the uptake of certain amino acids, such as isoleucine and α-(methylamino)isobutyric acid
• in a study to understand the effects of testosterone on brain aromatase activity in neonatal quail brain
• for testosterone treatment of Celf1 knockout mice in a study to investigate the upregulation of aromatase activity in association with hypogonadism
• to investigate the ontogeny of aromatase-expressing neurons in Japanese quail brain
• to study the effects of in vivo administration of testosterone propionate on fluid reabsorption in the efferent ducts of rat.

Biochem./physiol. Wirkung

Testosterone is the major circulating androgen in men and is mainly produced by the testis. A small amount is secreted by the adrenal gland. It is produced from cholesterol in the Leydig cells. Testosterone is metabolized to dihydrotestosterone, a potent androgen that associates with a cytoplasmic receptor protein, to form a complex. This complex is activated and transported into the nucleus, where it triggers several biological responses. It mainly participates in the development of the male phenotype during embryogenesis and at puberty.
