[QUOTE="madman, post: 266211, member: 13851"] He is well aware as I laid it out in post #7 [I][B]First off what time of day was blood drawn and were you fasted? When testing your testosterone (TT, FT, BAT) blood work needs to be done in the early AM in a fasted state as we want to have this done when T levels peak. Natural endogenous testosterone secretion is pulsatile and diurnal. During the natural 24 hr circadian rhythm of a healthy young male T levels will start rising gradually overnight reaching peak in the early AM followed by lower levels in the late afternoon and reaching trough (lowest point) in the evening.[/B][/I] [B][I]Fluctuations from peak--->trough would be around 20-25%[/I][/B] Even than no one had a clue from his opening post that he was fasting. This is critical as testing in an unfasted state can have a big impact on driving down T levels which would skew the results. Testing TT, FT and BAT in the early AM in a fasted state is critical let alone using accurate assays! These are things that need to be asked before jumping to any conclusions. [/QUOTE]
