[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 174790, member: 38109"] Look at it his way. It's like having different tests to measure how fast you're driving. One test says 62 and another test says 100 and you say that the higher number is "way off". But the first test is miles per hour and the second test is kilometers per hour, so they're both right. Free testosterone is confusing because with hormone concentrations you assume you just convert to the common units to compare, but this doesn't work because the scaling is in the test itself. So 30 ng/dL on Tru-T is equivalent to 19 ng/dL on Vermeulen and it's mainly luck that the Quest test is giving results close to Vermeulen. This latter relationship deteriorates when tested over a wider range of total testosterone and SHBG. [/QUOTE]
