Testosterone Propionate Mechanism of Action

Testosterone propionate is a prodrug of testosterone. Testosterone acts on the androgen receptor to exert its androgenic and anabolic effects. It is responsible for the development of male sexual gametes and secondary sexual characteristics. Testosterone propionate has strong androgenic and moderate anabolic effects. Its anabolic effects include increased muscle mass and strength, increase in bone density, and bone maturation. However, it is short-acting in duration.  It is primarily used in androgen replacement therapy, but also useful in bodybuilding.
