Group: Hormone
Description:
Total testosterone is the overall amount of testosterone in the body. Testosterone is a hormone that plays a key role in sexual health and function, red blood cell production, muscle integrity, and cardiometabolic health. In men, it is the predominant sex hormone, but it also affects females. Physiologically desirable levels of testosterone support various aspects of health, while low levels are associated with conditions such as hypogonadism, infertility, anemia, low muscle mass, fatigue, and cardiometabolic disorders.
