[QUOTE="madman, post: 252134, member: 13851"] [USER=45337]@Tonald Drump[/USER] [B]My reply from a previous thread:[/B] Not only did I stress to always have your blood work done using the most accurate assays TT (LC/MS-MS) and FT (Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration) but to also make sure to stick with the same lab/same assay (most accurate) and it is critical that you have your blood work done in the early AM (7-10) in a fasted state. Also if you are into training with weights then take a week off from the gym to make sure you are well-rested. Fasting before testing TT/FT/BAT is critical as glucose or a meal can lower T temporarily and this would skew your blood test results. Let alone the same can be said for working out as a poor diet/over-training can also drive down endogenous T levels. Lack of quality sleep can drive down T. Natural endogenous testosterone secretion is pulsatile and diurnal (24 hr circadian rhythm). Testing should be done in a fasted state between 7-10 am as we want to test at peak. Blood work should never be done in the late afternoon/early evening when levels will be lower as the nadir (lowest point) would be around 6-8 pm. Fluctuations from peak--->trough would be around 20-25%.
