It is demonstrated that MENT has similar effects on sexual activity and mood states as testosterone in hypogonadal men, and its development as a potential androgen replacement therapy is supported.

The in vitro metabolism of 7α-methyl- 19-nortestosterone was investigated in male rat liver, ventral prostate, and epididymis and it is concluded that the androgenic potency of the steroid is not dependent on its further conversion to 5α-dihydro-metabolites.

The androgenic potency of 7-alpha-methyl-19-nortestosterone is not dependent on its further conversion to 5 alpha-dihydro-metabolites, and the kinetics of metabolism in liver differed significantly from those of testosterone or 19-nortsestosterone.

It is concluded that SLT may be a useful addition to the currently available injectable and transdermal delivery systems for treatment of hypogonadal men because of the ease of administration, rapid reversibility of effects, and lower AUC of serum T levels achieved compared to those of TE injections.
