The Testosterone test measures only one parameter – total testosterone – a hormone predominantly found in men and referred to as a “male” sex hormone. However, testosterone is also found in women in smaller quantities.
Testosterone causes the changes seen in the body during male puberty, such as body hair, muscle growth, maturation of genitals, and deepening of voice. In men, testosterone helps sperm mature and boosts sex drive. In women, testosterone is important for healthy organs, bones and muscles.2,5 Testosterone is primarily produced in the testes in males and the ovaries in females. Testosterone is produced by the adrenal glands in both sexes.
Testosterone in the body exists in two forms: bound and free. Bound testosterone is attached to proteins, acting as a reserve and not immediately available to cells and tissues. Free testosterone, on the other hand, is not attached to proteins and is easily available for bodily functions. Total testosterone test measures both free and bound testosterone and is usually the first test done when doctors suspect abnormal testosterone levels. Free testosterone may be checked to give more information when the total testosterone level is low.
