Male Hormones Profile
 
Additional Resources:
 The Metametrix Male Hormones Profile provides clinicians with a powerful tool for ensuring optimal male hormone balance and metabolism. The Male Hormones Profile uniquely allows for evaluation of both total testosterone and free, bio-available testosterone (free androgen index) with inclusion of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). Assessment of androgen metabolism is also enhanced with measurement of estradiol, demonstrating the degree of aromatase activity that may influence prostate health. In addition, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is included with this profile offering a marker for the impact of male hormones on the prostate gland.
