Abstract
THESE substances may be defined as agents that promote the general synthesis of protein. Androgens were the first hormones shown to produce a positive nitrogen balance in experimental animals. Soon after, careful balance studies in humans showed similar effects of androgen in hypogonad patients (and even in normal persons) as well as those apparently suffering from protein depletion without androgen insufficiency.
