[QUOTE="madman, post: 172411, member: 13851"] Although your TT is 625 ng/dl is a descent level.....but because your SHBG is high 57.8 nmol/L.....your FT levels are sub-par and on the lower end as you can clearly see on your lab results 9.9 pg/ml (8.7-25.1).....top it of with the fact that your LH is high. Mind you the FT testing method used direct immunoassay is inaccurate and if the only way to truly know where your FT level sits is to have it tested using the most accurate method such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best). Or you can simply use the newer TruT calculator available online for free as it has been shown to be on par with results obtained by the gold standard ED. When using the TruT calculator with a TT 625 ng/dL, SHBG 57.8 nmol/L and Albumin of 4.8 g/dL than your FT is 16.98 ng/dL (right at the bottom end of the reference range of 16-31 ng/dL). Most men do well having FT levels in the 30 ng/dL range.....mind you many can do well with mid range levels around 23.5 ng/dL. Your FT levels are sub-par and most likely having a negative effect on not only body composition but overall health. How do you feel overall? Although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the unbound active fraction of testosterone responsible for the positive effects. Your cholesterol/ldl need to be addressed and your DHEA-S is low (look into supplementation). [/QUOTE]
