homeostasis/metabolism
• rates of testosterone metabolism are reduced in the liver, lung, nasal olfactory mucosa and brain
|
behavior/neurological
• the sleep time induced by i.p. 60 mg/kg pentobarbital is significantly longer than in controls suggesting a defect in pentobarbital clearance
|
liver/biliary system
• decrease in the rate of testosterone metabolism with a 50% decrease in the rate of formation of 15Beta-OH-T
|
nervous system
• decrease in the rate of testosterone metabolism with a 40% decrease in the rate of production of 16alpha-OH-T
|
respiratory system
• all three major metabolites of testosterone are barely detectable in the lung and nasal olfactory mucosa
