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.
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.
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.
