[QUOTE="FunkOdyssey, post: 267119, member: 44064"] So these labs are a good demonstration of the principles we are talking about here. We're saying that free T is reflecting only the rate that testosterone is introduced to your system, either by endogenous production or exogenous administration, and is not influenced by SHBG. Your rate of testosterone production was kept constant and so your free T was kept constant, even as SHBG and total testosterone changed dramatically. Between this, the fact that free T is what your body is trying to maintain a certain level of for homeostasis, and the fact that free T is the driver of hypogonadal symptoms or the lack of them, you can see why total testosterone is relatively meaningless by comparison. Total T tells you alot about your SHBG level, and not very much about whether you are hypogonadal or eugonadal. [/QUOTE]
