Biomarkers:
Albumin:
- Description: Albumin is a protein made by the liver, essential for maintaining blood volume and transporting hormones.
- Importance: Monitoring albumin levels can provide insights into your liver function and overall health, as well as impact the availability of hormones like testosterone.
DHEA Sulphate:
- Description: DHEA Sulphate is a precursor hormone that is converted into androgens and estrogens.
- Importance: Abnormal DHEA levels can indicate issues with adrenal gland function, affecting energy, mood, and sexual health.
Free Androgen Index (FAI):
- Description: FAI is a measure of the active androgens, particularly testosterone, in your body.
- Importance: Monitoring FAI is crucial for assessing conditions like hypogonadism, which can lead to low libido, fatigue, and reduced muscle mass.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH):
- Description: FSH plays a key role in sperm production and the regulation of reproductive processes.
- Importance: Elevated or low levels of FSH can indicate issues with testicular function and fertility.
Free Testosterone:
- Description: This measures the amount of testosterone that is not bound to proteins and is available for use by the body.
- Importance: Low free testosterone can lead to symptoms like fatigue, depression, and decreased muscle mass.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH):
- Description: LH is involved in regulating testosterone production and the overall function of the testes.
- Importance: Monitoring LH is important for understanding issues related to testosterone production and reproductive health.
Prolactin:
- Description: Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that can affect reproductive health.
- Importance: Elevated prolactin levels can be linked to pituitary disorders, erectile dysfunction, and infertility.
Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG):
- Description: SHBG binds to sex hormones, controlling their availability in the body.
- Importance: Monitoring SHBG helps assess hormone balance and availability, which is crucial in conditions like androgen deficiency.
Testosterone:
- Description: Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone, essential for maintaining muscle mass, bone density, and libido.
- Importance: Imbalanced testosterone levels can lead to issues such as low libido, fatigue, and muscle weakness.
Estradiol:
- Description: Although primarily associated with female hormones, estradiol plays a role in male health, particularly in bone density and brain function.
