Étude pharmacocinétique chez l'homme : énanthate de testostérone donne un pic sérique 24-72 h après injection IM 250 mg, puis décroissance exponentielle avec demi-vie effective ~4,5 jours et retour au taux basal en ~3 semaines.

RCT NEJM (43 hommes sains, 10 semaines) : 600 mg/sem d'énanthate de testostérone augmentent la masse maigre de 6,1 kg et la force au développé couché de 22 % vs placebo, avec ou sans entraînement — démonstration historique de la dose-réponse anabolique.

RCT dose-réponse chez 61 hommes (25, 50, 125, 300 ou 600 mg/sem énanthate × 20 sem) sous suppression GnRH : masse maigre et force augmentent linéairement avec la dose, mais hématocrite, lipides et IGF-1 montrent une dégradation dose-dépendante au-delà de 300 mg.

Analyse complémentaire au RCT Bhasin 2001 : l'augmentation de l'hématocrite est dose- et âge-dépendante sous énanthate, avec un risque d'érythrocytose > 52 % concentré chez les hommes âgés à doses supraphysiologiques (≥ 300 mg/sem).
