Free form androgen testosterone in males

The normal functioning of the male body depends on testosterone (male hormone). Sexual functionality is impossible for the stronger sex without this substance.

What is Free Testosterone, what is the norm in men?

This is a type of hormone that affects the structure of gender and sexual desire. With an underestimated norm of permissible testosterone, in men impotence, metabolic failure, pathology in the nervous and cardiovascular system is possible.

To participate in the structure of the body, the male substance undergoes chemical reactions under the influence of various enzymes. An unacceptable rate in men, leads to sexual underdevelopment (hermaphroditis). This is due to the fact that the body is not able to perceive the substance in an unprocessed form (without combining with protein), which affects the ability to perform testosterone functions.

The main tasks of free testosterone in men:

• influence on the formation of organs of the reproductive system with the formation of a secondary sign of the male sex;
• participation in male spermatogenesis;
• the male hormone is responsible for libido, sexual desire;
• increases muscle mass;
• participates in the processing of fatty deposits;
• normalizes phosphorus and nitrogen metabolism.

Organs that need testosterone exposure have a cumulative capacity. Especially, it is noted in the seminal canals, prostate gland, testes, and epididymis (in women). Production control occurs in the hypothalamic-pituitary system. In 24 hours, men synthesize about 5.5-7.2 mg of testosterone in the body.

Plasma testosterone regulation affects the amount of dihydrotestosterone. High testosterone levels allow dihydrotestosterone to ferment. Need to control the level of androgen in plasma, this happens under the influence of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus.

What DHT should a male have?

• Up to ten years of age - 4.5-50.5 pg / ml.
• From 10 to 12 years old - 5-51 pg / ml.
• After 12 years - 245-995 pg / ml.

Data may vary slightly.

Normal testosterone levels

The amount of male, sex hormone is not constant, this is due to some factors:

• genetic engineering;
• stress, depression;
• taking anabolic steroids;
• infectious, chronic diseases, overweight, pathological changes in the immune sphere;
• age specificity;
• the presence of bad habits (drugs, alcohol, tobacco addiction);
• a sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, environmental pollution of the environment.

The required plasma testosterone rate is responsible for:

• correct development and growth of the organs of the reproductive system;
• is responsible for spermatogenesis;
• participates in the formation of male characteristics of character, body, behavior of men;
• takes part in stimulating libido.

Free Testosterone Rate:

• from 0 to 12 months of life - 0, 42-0.73;
• 1 to 7 years 0.1-1.13;
• from 7 to 12 years old - 0.1-2.36;
• from 12 to 18 to 0.99-38.4;
• from 18 to 45 - 8.63-30;
• over 50 years old - 6.69-25.3.

How Free Form Androgen Works

Free form of testosterone in males depends on the time dimension (the age of the man). Men under the age of 35 are characterized by a high level of androgens. The amount of total and free testosterone is low after the age of 55. On the basis of research, it was noted that a high rate of the male hormone is characteristic in the morning hours of the day. After 17.00 to 21.00, the androgen content is greatly underestimated. This is a picture of clinical trials per day.

Men who have reached the age of majority have a male hormone rate of 5.6 to 43 pg / mg. Noticeable differences in the rate depend on various factors. It can be age category, lifestyle activity with sexual activity. Doctors argue that with an annual decrease in androgen, after the age of 65, it provokes a male menopause.

This is marked by increased bone fragility, reduced potency, weakening of all body functions with the extinction of normal functioning. Along with these problems, there is male depression, the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, leading to death.

When is testosterone testing required

In case of disruption of the work of brain cells, poor concentration of attention, low manifestation of secondary signs of sexual development in men or their weak development, a study on the level of testosterone is also required.

The analysis takes place with reduced muscle mass, weak endurance, strong perspiration, chronic dryness of the skin, weak libido, erectile dysfunction. Studies are also carried out with atypical male obesity of the thighs, lower abdomen, frequent fractures, fragility of the bone body, infertility.

When a man notes at least one pathological sign, a mandatory consultation with a specialist is required with tests for plasma testosterone levels.

Free Testosterone Boost Method

You can not engage in independent increase in the male hormone (take medications). Each specific case is considered by a specialist separately. The endocrinologist examines the patient, makes a diagnosis, and determines the cause of the pathological decrease in the free male hormone.

Medical therapy consists of a number of alternative methods. In addition to recommendations for taking selected medications, the patient must comply with certain conditions.

The first step is to establish control over the diet. Eating a healthy diet naturally raises testosterone levels. You should eat seafood, fish oil, lean meat, nuts, pumpkin seeds, eggs, vegetable and fruit dishes with herbs.

The next mandatory rule is to get rid of extra pounds of body weight. Body fat is the first sign of hormonal imbalance in men. This requires excluding fatty and high-calorie foods, beer. You should move more, play sports, do morning runs. You can go to the gym 2 times a week, over time this habit will become a favorite hobby.

Sleep plays an important role in hormonal imbalances. Due to chronic sleep deprivation, hormonal levels are disrupted. Normalization of sleep helps with an increase in the concentration of the free male hormone (testosterone).

Without a sufficient level of testosterone (free), normal functioning in the male body is impossible. A disturbed hormonal background provokes the onset of pathological processes that affect the health and general condition of the male body.

Having suspicions of hormonal imbalance, you can not delay the trip to the doctor. You should visit an endocrinologist, make the necessary diagnostics, carry out medical therapy prescribed by a specialized specialist.
