Pharmacokinetics Comparison. Integrated Area, Cmean, Cmax, and Cmin (all in ng/mL) were calculated from average weekly T levels per group over the first 6 weeks of T administration.

Blue shaded box refers to T enanthate administration groups and green shaded box indicates crystalline T administration. Cumulative dosage ranges between 2.7–5.4 mg for T enanthate groups and 10.0 mg for crystalline T groups. Integrated areas, indicating the body’s exposure to T, of T enanthate cohorts typically correspond to the cumulative dosage, except for 5mg-90 day release pellet that demonstrated high initial release and then fell to levels comparable to control mice during the 6 weeks of T treatment. Cmean indicates the average T levels over 6 weeks of treatment. Cmin refers to the lowest average T level during 6 weeks of T administration while Cmax refers to the highest average T level in each group. The last column indicates how many T-treated mice were used in each cohort.
