Administration of testosterone propionate above physiological levels inhibits body weight gain of normal and castrated young adult rats. Inhibition in the normal rat appears in doses above 25 μg/day and in castrated rats at above 100 μg/day. In the castrated rat inhibition is preceded by increase in rate of body weight gain. Food consumption of both normal and castrated rats varied with changes in body weight.
