This Panel measures the following Hormones: Testosterone Total, Free Testosterone, Cortisol, Follicle Stimulating Hormone, and Luteinizing Hormone.
Biomarkers
Testosterone Total: Testosterone is a growth hormone produced by the adrenal cortex. It is important for the maintenance of bone and muscle mass, as well as that of the male reproductive system. Low testosterone in men leads to symptoms such as weight, fatigue, and even infertility. Testosterone Total is the standard biomarker and refers to the total amount of testosterone in the body.
Free Testosterone: Testosterone is a growth hormone produced by the adrenal cortex. It is important for the maintenance of bone and muscle mass, as well as that of the male reproductive system. Low testosterone in men leads to symptoms such as weight, fatigue, and even infertility. Free Testosterone refers to the amount of bioavailable testosterone in the body and allows for a more thorough diagnosis.
Cortisol: Released by the adrenal glands, cortisol is the stress hormone that maintains the body’s energy by regulating the release of glucose and the usage of this glucose as an energy source. In times of elevated stress, high cortisol causes a reduction of testosterone, thereby hindering male fertility.
FSH: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is crucial to the functioning of the reproductive system. Stimulating the production of sperm in the testes, FSH count is an important biomarker when diagnosing the cause of infertility.
LH: Luteinizing hormone (LH) is crucial to the functioning of the reproductive system. Stimulating the production of testosterone, LH count is an important biomarker when diagnosing the cause of infertility.
