Abstract
The protein anabolic activity of testosterone propionate is well established1. It has been shown that an increase in the rate of uptake of labelled glycine occurs in slices of kidney from mice treated with this substance2. Incorporation of labelled glycine into liver proteins does not seem to be affected.
