Pharmacodynamics
Endogenous androgens secreted by the testes (mainly testosterone) and their main metabolite dihydrotestosterone responsible for the development of external and internal genital organs and for maintaining secondary sex characteristics (stimulating hair growth, deepening of the voice, the development of the libido); for the overall impact on the anabolism of proteins; for the development of the skeletal muscles and the distribution of subcutaneous fat; for reducing the excretion of nitrogen, sodium, potassium, chloride, phosphate, and water. Testosterone does not cause testicular development: it reduces the secretion of pituitary gonadotropins.
Effects of testosterone on some target organs is manifested after peripheral conversion of testosterone to estradiol, which then binds to the estrogen receptor in the nuclei of target cells (such as the pituitary, adipose tissue, brain, bone, and testicular Leydig cells).
Indications for use
Replacement therapy with testosterone deficiency.
