fuck, n00bs your making me all paranoid
Did you test e2?
.. No matter.. Time to start fixing your liver as their is obviously a problem there. DO you drink? Its time to stop... Your igf-1 is the same as mine... Bottom of the scale. This points to a few possible causes all pointing to the liver...
A few points below on HGH and igf-1
Alcohol. One drink is toxic enough to impair cellular metabolism in the liver such that growth hormone receptor production is reduced, inflammatory signaling is raised to the point production of IGF-1 and its binding proteins are reduced. One drink wastes an entire day's worth of growth hormone.
Liver Disease. Liver disease may involve impaired cellular metabolism and excessive inflammatory signaling which impairs IGF-1, IGFBP3, and ALS production.
Excessive Inflammatory Cytokine Signaling from the Immune System. Inflammatory cytokines (such as Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-alpha), InterLeukin 1a, 1b, and 6) can inhibit growth hormone receptor production, impair signal transduction, impair IGF-1 gene expression, leading to impaired IGF-1 production and impaired IGFBP3 and ALS production.
If i were you i would look at getting cytokines tested.
The real question is why don't doctors do anything about hormal problems in men? I saw a show the other day about a Dr who was saying just that. He said that giving men testosterone should be way more common practice than it is.
Bringing this thread back to life...
Just got my latest test everything looks ok but I have a reading of
8.7 nmol/L of testosterone (normal range 12.0 -32.0)
0.7 U/L of FSH (normal range 1.5-12.4)
Doctor says its ok because I have a FAI reading that is in normal range...
Previous test readings to date from memory 8, 10, 14, 8.7.
How much does stress effect test levels? - can it drop it by that much?
