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); HSL = hormone-sensitive lipase; ATGL = adipocyte triglyceride lipase; FFA = free fatty acid; VO2 = volume of O2; VCO2 = volume of CO2; RQ = respiratory quotient; TEE = total energy expenditure. The correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed). |
