Individual Biomarkers

Albumin (ALB) is a protein made in the liver which circulates in the blood. The amount of albumin in the blood is directly associated with liver function and nutritional health. Low levels are associated with problems in the liver or kidneys and is also linked to severe inflammation. A decreased level of albumin is also apparent when your body cannot absorb nutrients sufficiently, for example in low protein diets. Higher than normal levels can indicate dehydration. As albumin has a key role in the transportation of calcium it can also be used as a marker in the assessment of bone health.
DHEA-Sulphate is a male sex hormone found in both male and female. It is mostly produced in the adrenal glands however a small amount is produced in the male testes and the female ovaries. DHEA-Sulphate is used to control body function such as heart rate and blood pressure as well as being important in the production of sex hormones, testosterone and oestrogen. DHEA-Sulphate is measured for the diagnosis of tumours of the adrenal grands or diagnosis of disorders of the testicles or ovaries.
Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH) a reproductive hormone that is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. FSH stimulates the growth and development of unfertilised eggs during the menstrual cycle in women and initiates the production of sex hormones such as oestradiol and progesterone. FSH is also used to stimulate the production of sperm in men. The FSH hormone is often tested with other sex hormones such as LH, testosterone, oestradiol and progesterone for diagnose infertility and pituitary gland disorders in men and women.
Free androgen index (FAI) is an estimate of the amount of free testosterone in the bloodstream. It is calculated using the test results of testosterone (total) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). Low levels in men can lead to a low libido, while high levels in women can lead to the growth of facial and body hair as well as fertility problems.
Free Testosterone Calculation is a measurement of the amount of free testosterone in the body. It is a steroid hormone produced by the male testes and the adrenal glands in both men and omen. It regulates the male sex drive and maintains muscle mass. Free testosterone calculation is used in the diagnosis of various conditions such as erectile dysfunction and infertility in men.
Luteinising hormone (LH) plays a key role in the human reproductive system. In men, LH aids the production of testosterone to support sperm production, whilst in women, it plays a key role in ovulation. High or low levels of luteinising hormone are associated with problems with fertility and irregular periods. As women enter the menopause levels of LH will naturally rise, whilst levels in adult males tend to stay relatively constant throughout their lives.
Oestradiol is the main form of oestrogen in women and levels will naturally reduce with age and decrease during the peri-menopausal stage, with a large decrease occurring at the start of menopause when the ovaries stop producing eggs. For example post-menopause women can expect their levels to fall below 100 IU/L. Low levels can cause mood swings, fatigue and a decrease in bone density leading to an increased risk of osteoporosis.
Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. Slight increases can occur as part of a stress reaction. However, if your level is consitently high this can cause supression of other pituitary hormones such as FSH and LH. High levels are expected during breast feeding as main role of prolactin is to produce milk.
SHBG is a protein which attaches itself to testosterone and controls how much of it is available to your body tissue. It is therefore useful in identifying testosterone deficiency in men and excess testosterone in women. High SHBG levels indicate less free testosterone is available to tissues which can lead to low libido in men and reductions in energy. Conversely, low SHGB levels indicate more total testosterone is available to the tissues which can lead in a condition known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in women.
Testosterone plays an important role throughout the body, affecting the brain, bone and muscle mass, fat distribution, the vascular system, energy levels, sexual functioning and fertility. Testosterone in men is particularly beneficial in sports which require strength or power and can also help to support bone health and energy levels. However, excessively high levels can be a risk to health. Testosterone levels in men will naturally decline with age. High levels in women is associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
