[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 9567, member: 3"] Testosterone Fractions in the Blood 1- Total testosterone (total amount produced by the body. For a healthy male this production ranges from 5-7 mg per day) 2- Free testosterone (testosterone fraction not bound to any proteins. This is the active fraction) 3- Albumin-bound testosterone (this is testosterone's "savings account". They body draws from it when it needs more testosterone to become free testosterone) 4- Sex hormone binding globulin bound testosterone. This bound testosterone cannot be released into the blood stream. It is the body's "breaks" for avoiding excessive testosterone. Inflammation, aging, medications, and other factors can increase sex hormone binding globulin. When we add free testosterone plus albumin bound testosterone we come up with bioavailable testosterone (the testosterone available to the body). These are metabolites of bioavailable testosterone: [ATTACH=full]863[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]862[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
