Hormones (3 Biomarkers)
There are many types of hormones that support different bodily functions and processes including growth, metabolism, appetite, and fertility. Hormone imbalances or deficiencies may be to blame for a wide range of symptoms and conditions.
Testosterone
Testosterone is a steroid hormone produced by the male testes and the adrenal glands in both men and women. This hormone production is stimulated and controlled by the luteinizing hormone. Testosterone is seen in large amounts in boys during puberty, causing the growth of body hair and muscle development. It also regulates the male sex drive and maintains muscle mass. It is found in small amounts in females from the ovary. A testosterone test is used to diagnose various conditions such as erectile dysfunction and infertility in men.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a protein produced by the liver. Its main function is to bind and transport the hormones oestradiol, testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone in the blood. The SHBG test is used to diagnose testosterone deficiency in men and is used to investigate the production of testosterone in women.
