the results of these experiments suggest that ( a ) androgens can increase selection of dietary protein whether or not they exert significant protein anabolic effects , ( b ) the 5 alpha-reduced product of testosterone , 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone , is not the major metabolite responsible for the increases in protein and caloric intake and in body weight caused by tp , and ( c ) the decreases in carbohydrate intake and adiposity in rats treated with the high dose of tp may be mediated by aromatized ( estrogenic ) metabolites of the androgen .
