Sham = normal control; T-Sham = normal rats treated with IM testosterone undecanoate preparation (100 mg/kg); Orch = orchiectomized rats; T-Orch = orchiectomized rats treated with IM testosterone undecanoate preparation (100 mg/kg); VO2 = volume of consumed oxygen; VCO2 = volume of the produced carbon dioxide; RQ = respiratory quotient (VCO2/VO2); TEE = total energy expenditure. Significant versus Sham group. Significant versus Orch group. |
