Calcium Excretion

The process by which the kidneys filter and remove excess calcium from the blood, contributing to the regulation of calcium balance in the body.

Hypertrophy

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Testosterone is known for promoting anabolic effects such as muscle growth, bone density, and the development of male secondary sexual characteristics, not for increasing calcium excretion. Increased calcium excretion is not a direct effect of testosterone; instead, testosterone tends to support bone density and growth.
