SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound include increased retention of nitrogen, calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride and phosphate which results in increased skeletal weight; water retention, increased vascularity of the skin, hypercalcemia, increased bone growth and stomatitis. In males, small doses ma cause increased number of spermatozoa produced, while large doses may cause suppressed formation of spermatozoa. In women, this compound may cause suppression of ovarian activity and menstruation, symptoms of virilism, atrophy of the breasts and endometrial tissue, increased libido and suppressed lactation. Other symptoms in women include male-pattern hirsuitism, deepening of the voice, acne and hypertrophy of the clitoris. Other symptoms of exposure to this type of compound through ingestion include menstrual irregularities, excessive body hair, prominent musculature, sustained erections, edema, jaundice, hepatic adenocarcinoma and feminization in males. In children, this chemical may cause serious disturbances of growth and of sexual and osseous development.

The effects of testosterone in humans and other vertebrates occur by way of two main mechanisms: by activation of the androgen receptor (directly or as DHT), and by conversion to estradiol and activation of certain estrogen receptors. Free testosterone (T) is transported into the cytoplasm of target tissue cells, where it can bind to the androgen receptor, or can be reduced to 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the cytoplasmic enzyme 5alpha-reductase. The areas of binding are called hormone response elements (HREs), and influence transcriptional activity of certain genes, producing the androgen effects.

As all testosterone esters, testosterone propionate is rapidly hydrolysed into free testosterone in plasma. Testosterone is metabolized to 17-keto steroids through two different pathways. The major active metabolites are estradiol and dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Testosterone propionate is rapidly hydrolysed into testosterone. Testosterone is metabolized to 17-keto steroids through two different pathways. The major active metabolites are estradiol and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Route of Elimination: About 90% of a dose of testosterone given intramuscularly is excreted in the urine as glucuronic and sulfuric acid conjugates of testosterone and its metabolites; about 6% of a dose is excreted in the feces, mostly in the unconjugated form.

Testosterone propionate presents a slow absorption from the intramuscular site of administration. This slow absorption is due to the presence of the less polar ester group. The absorption rate of testosterone propionate generates a frequent injection requirement when compared with testosterone enanthate or testosterone cypionate. It presents absorption parameters of AUC and residence time of 180-210 ng h/ml and 40-60 h, respectively.
