Total testosterone includes free testosterone, weakly bound testosterone (bound to albumin), and tightly bound testosterone (bound to SHBG or sex hormone binding globulin). Because testosterone can dissociate from the albumin carrier and rapidly diffuse into target cells, albumin-bound or weakly bound testosterone is also available to target tissues. |
Frozen specimen is preferred.
