    Lab measurement unit wrong? FT/TT = 0.14%* possible?

    Recent blood tests don't match up

    Hey guys, So I went to a doc two weeks ago that specializes in TRT. A little background on myself. I am 25 years old, 5'11" and 190 lb. When I was around 20 years old I started messing around with pro hormones and steroids without looking at the later consequences. As of the past 2 years my...

This “free testosterone” is not attached to binding proteins that would prevent it from interacting with its receptor. About 40 percent of the body's testosterone is attached to albumin. This is a protein...
