Question 3 of 4

Actions of Testosterone derivatives include all of the following EXCEPT:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Testosterone derivatives exert androgenic effects (choice A, male traits), anabolic effects (choice D, muscle growth), and can be diabetogenic (choice B) by altering glucose metabolism. Estrogenic effects (choice C) occur with aromatization (e.g., to estradiol), but aren't a direct action of testosterone itself, making it the exception.
