FDX 19

Our specially devised panels for Male health are the ultimate tool for the modern healthcare practitioner looking for a comprehensive review of a client’s vitality and health that includes sexual health markers.

To create these panels, we have used the principal biomarkers from our best-selling Signature Inspect test and added important key biomarkers for those looking to include additional endocrine, sex hormone and cardiovascular profiles to their client investigations.

FDX Men Inspect identifies the status of over 85 biomarkers including hormones, homocysteine and fasting insulin plus we have added more comprehensive markers to assess function including thyroid, iron, blood sugar management, enzyme status and cholesterol function.

£85.00

FDX 78: Dihydrotestosterone

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a male sex hormone (androgen). Androgens are endogenous steroid hormones consisting of DHEA, Androstenedione, Testosterone and DHT. DHT is the most potent hormone amongst the androgens because it is not converted to estrogen, it is considered to be a pure androgen. It is created from testosterone via the action of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase and is produced in the prostate gland, adrenal glands, liver, brain, and hair follicles. Its action is related to the tissue in which it is produced. It is a more potent hormone than testosterone (approx. 1% circulated feely as unbound), it has a slow dissociation (approx. 5x less than testosterone) and long half-life (2x affinity to the androgen receptors). During development and adult life in men, it promotes prostate growth, activity of the sebaceous glands, male pattern baldness and the development of characteristics that are typically associated with men (body hair, muscle growth, and a deep voice). In women DHT levels are associated with issues including hirsutism, amenorrhea, and increased acne.
