[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 271659, member: 15832"] Total T is a function of SHBG, men with higher SHBG are have a higher Total T. Free T is what drives the effect of testosterone, not Total T. There was once a member with a Total T @ 1195 ng/dL, SHBG 148 and had the lowest Free T levels I’ve even seen. Solid Total T, abysmally low Free T and symptoms to go along with it. Androgens lower SHBG, so the high SHBG can be the direct result of low Free T produced within the testicles. What I find interesting is your SHBG increased by almost 50% in a short period of time. Starvation, cutting can raise the SHBG and lower the Free T. I would look more closely at your liver since that’s where SHBG is made. The TRT is expected hammer your SHBG down and bring the Free T ^^. :) [/QUOTE]
