Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
Testolactone is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
▧ Protein binding :
~85%
▧ Metabolism :
Hepatic. Metabolized to several derivatives in the liver, all of which preserve the lactone D-ring.
▧ Route of Elimination :
No clinical effects in humans of testolactone on adrenal function have been reported; however, one study noted an increase in urinary excretion of 17-ketosteroids in most of the patients treated with 150 mg/day orally. It is metabolized to several derivatives in the liver, all of which preserve the lactone D-ring. These metabolites, as well as some unmetabolized drug, are excreted in the urine.
