I believe more and more in testing the remnants. Which can be done with simple blood test. There are many athletes and highly sportive people out there who get infarcts with no signs of elevated lipids. The remnants should always be checked because LDL HDL tot etc..... are not anymore the only main indicaters.
I would like an expertise to correct me if I´m wrong.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
