Comparison of Metabolic Effects of Testosterone Propionate with Those of Chorionic Gonadotropin1123

Abstract
In a 13-yr.-old boy 5 mg. of testosterone propionate daily induced reduction in urinary excretion of N, inorganic phosphorus, sulfate. K, Na and creatine. Chorionic gonadotrophin (750 to 1500 I.U.) exerted essentially the same effects as testosterone propionate. In several respects the influence was more powerful than that of 5 mg. of testosterone propionate daily. The metabolic influences of both agents were unaccompanied by any change in the urinary excretion of androgens, estrogens or 17-ketosteroids.
