Testosterone Kinetics

Meaning

The scientific study of the time course of testosterone within the body, encompassing its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) following endogenous production or exogenous administration. Understanding these kinetics is crucial in clinical endocrinology for determining the appropriate dosage, frequency, and route of administration for testosterone replacement therapy to maintain stable, physiological levels. It provides a quantifiable measure of hormone activity over time.
