NCIt definition : The undecanoate ester form of the androgen testosterone, with gonadotropin-secretory
inhibiting and hormone replacement activity. As testosterone inhibits the secretion
of gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, administration of testosterone decreases
the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH). By inhibiting LH secretion, the growth
of Leydig cells, which are normally stimulated by LH to produce testosterone, may
be suppressed. In addition, this agent promotes the maintenance of male sex characteristics
and can be used for testosterone replacement in hypogonadal males.;
