[QUOTE="madman, post: 82428, member: 13851"] Of course the ranges mean something it allows one to differentiate between what is considered low/normal/excess levels. Many are misinformed regarding trt thinking ones levels need to be in the 1000+ range to benefit from trt where as in reality most men do well between 600-800 ng/dL along with a healthy free t range. Sure if you are one that falls in the 95th percentile and had high levels throughout puberty/young adulthood and now suffer from low t you may very well need to be 1000+ to experience relief of low t symptoms but it is not common that higher serum levels are always better. If you look over the chart for Bhasins (highly respected researcher in the field of androgens) results the mean total t for 20-29 yrs is 714 ng/dL. If you search the literature high/normal t levels are not always needed in order to experience relief of low t symptoms. There are also a lot of men misdiagnosed with low testosterone only to find out that it was really thyroid/adrenal dysfunction. Of course symptoms are important but labs are critical especially when diagnosing low t. The threshold for serum levels of testosterone is not as high as one would think to see relief/improvements of low t symptoms. [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279145/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
