Here are my results

Testosterone, Serum 464
Estrogens, Total 70
Sex Horm Binding Glob, Serum 187.7
Albumin, Serum 4.5

I don't know what they mean.  My SHBG is quite high.  

Any help understanding the numbers will be very very much appreciated.

Thanks spanky,

Calculated Free T = 2.36 ng/dL  =  0.508 %
Calculated Bioavailable T = 55.3 ng/dL  =  11.9 %
Calculated Free E2 = 0.0331 ng/dL  =  0.473 %  (1.5% would be ok)


SHBG is high, 187.7, which should translate to testosterone being lower, though 464 ng/dL isn't refelecting the result.  As a percentage though, free T is low (tells me DHT is being inhibited). This number 0.508% better reflects the active % of androgen (testosterone,) E2 needs a boost from a pro-aromatase. Total T tells us what's available, not necessarily what can be made into estrogen,  free T shows us how much is a available to be converted.
