Testosterone Efficacy Profiling

Meaning

Testosterone Efficacy Profiling is a specialized clinical assessment that evaluates the full spectrum of an individual’s testosterone action, moving beyond simple total or free testosterone measurements. This comprehensive profiling includes assessing the concentration of key metabolites like dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estradiol, evaluating the density and sensitivity of androgen receptors, and quantifying the levels of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). The goal is to determine the true biological effectiveness, or efficacy, of the circulating testosterone at the tissue level.
