This panel provides an assessment of the dominant reproductive hormones in men, which play a significant role in maintaining their overall health and wellness.
Estradiol, generally lower in men, is involved in sperm maturation and also helps to maintain a healthy libido. It can also correlate to metabolic issues in men when in excess.
Progesterone, also generally low in men, acts as a precursor to testosterone, but it also has actions in sperm production, mood, metabolism, sleep, and prostate health.
Testosterone has an important role in maintaining bone strength, muscle mass, and energy level in men. It is responsible for the growth and development of sexual characteristics, facial and body hair, increased sexual drive, and sperm production. It is the dominant hormone in men and a marker of general health.
