NCIt definition : An eight-carbon ester form of Testosterone. The number of ester carbon atoms correlate
with the half-life of the prodrug. Testosterone inhibits gonadotropin secretion from
the pituitary gland and ablates estrogen production in the ovaries, thereby decreasing
endogenous estrogen levels. In addition, this agent promotes the maintenance of male
sex characteristics and is indicated for testosterone replacement in hypogonadal males.
