Abstract

The effects of testosterone propionate (TP) on food intake and body weight were investigated using castrated prepubertal male rats. Regardless of dose (1 mg, 0.2 mg or 0.1 mg), daily injections of TP increased body weight gain and food intake during the prepubertal period (from 22 to 40 days to age). Considering previous results, the present observations suggest that in the male rat sensitivity to the effects of gonadal hormones on feeding develops earlier than in females.
