Understanding Testosterone Total & Free in Sonipat


What is Testosterone Total & Free in Sonipat?

A Testosterone Total & Free test measures the levels of testosterone in the blood. Testosterone is a hormone that plays an important role in various aspects of health including muscle mass, bone density, libido, mood, and overall well-being. It is present in both men and women, but the levels are significantly higher in men. The testosterone total test measures the total amount of testosterone circulating in the blood, including both bound and unbound forms. This test tells about the overall testosterone production. Free testosterone test measures the amount of unbound testosterone in the blood, which is not bound to proteins and is readily available for use by the body’s cells. This test is important for assessing the bioavailable testosterone that can exert its effects on various tissues and organs. 

A Testosterone Total & Free test is used to diagnose conditions related to testosterone levels, such as hypogonadism (low testosterone) or hypergonadism (high testosterone). Also, this test can help detect infertility, erectile dysfunction, early or delayed puberty in males, and menstrual irregularities or hormonal issues in females. Additionally, this test can help track hormone levels in individuals receiving testosterone replacement therapy. 

No special preparation is required for this test. You may eat and drink as per your daily routine. However, it's noteworthy that testosterone levels are highest during the early morning and lowest in the evening. These levels increase with exercise and decrease with age.

Testosterone Total

The Testosterone Total test measures the level of testosterone hormone in the blood. Testosterone is a steroid hormone primarily produced in the testes in men, although it is also present in smaller quantities in the adrenal glands. In women, it is made in small amounts by the ovaries. It is predominantly associated with male physiology and significantly influences physiological functions in both men and women. 

The pituitary gland produces luteinizing hormone (LH), which regulates testosterone production. As testosterone levels rise, LH production decreases, slowing down testosterone production. Conversely, when testosterone levels fall, LH production increases, stimulating testosterone production.

Most of the testosterone circulating in the blood gets attached to two proteins, albumin and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), and some of it remains unattached, called free testosterone. Free testosterone and albumin-bound testosterone are also known as bioavailable testosterone, as they are readily available for the body to use for proper functioning.

Testosterone Free

The Testosterone Free test measures the level of unattached or free testosterone in the blood. It is called free testosterone or free T because it is not attached to other molecules, especially proteins. The body actively uses free testosterone as signaling molecules that regulate metabolism and other cellular functions.
