What does the test measure?
This is the total amount of testosterone found in the blood. Some of it is attached to proteins, such as Sex-Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) or Albumin, which transport it around your body.
This is the testosterone which is not attached to any proteins so it’s free to be used by the body’s cells. When a cell binds to free testosterone its functionality is enabled, so the more you have of it, the better.
Low free testosterone is defined as<0.225nmol/L
This protein is produced in the liver and regulates hormone levels by binding to sex hormones, including testosterone. When your SHBG levels are high, your body has less free testosterone available to be used by the body’s cells.
Another protein produced in the liver which binds to testosterone, inhibiting its ability to be used by the body’s cells.
