FU Female FMV Urine Comprehensive Hormone

Urine

Performed by: Physicians Lab

Biomarkers included in this panel:

16a-Hydroxyestrone

Urine

16α-Hydroxyestrone serves as an important indicator of estrogen metabolism pathways in the body. This compound is a metabolite of estrone (E1), formed through the hydroxylation process at the 16th carbon of the steroid structure. The balance of

2-Hydroxyestrone

Urine

2-Hydroxyestrone is a metabolite of estrogen and is often referred to as a "good" estrogen due to its relatively benign nature compared to other estrogen metabolites. The significance of 2-Hydroxyestrone lies in its role in the 2-hydroxylat

2-Methoxyestrone

Urine

2-Methoxyestrone is a key marker in the "FU Female FMV Urine Comprehensive Hormone" panel by Physicians Lab, playing a pivotal role in the assessment of estrogen metabolism and overall hormonal balance in women. It is a metabolite of estron

Alpha-Pregnanediol

Urine

Alpha-Pregnanediol, a key biomarker in the FU Female FMV Urine Comprehensive Hormone panel, is a metabolite of progesterone, an essential hormone in female reproductive health. Scientifically, alpha-pregnanediol is a progestogen, a substance that pla

Anabolic/Catabolic Ratio

Urine

The Anabolic/Catabolic Ratio is a critical marker that offers insight into the overall balance between anabolic (building and repairing) and catabolic (breaking down) metabolic processes in the body. This ratio is determined by comparing the levels o

Learn more

Androsterone

Urine

Androsterone is a metabolite of androgens, crucial for evaluating hormonal balance in women. Chemically classified as a 17-ketosteroid, androsterone is primarily a breakdown product of testosterone, but it can also be derived from other androgens. In

Average DHEA-S

Urine

The marker "Average DHEA-S" (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate) is a critical indicator of adrenal gland function and overall androgen status in women. DHEA-S, a sulfated form of DHEA, is one of the most abundant circulating steroids in the hu

Learn more

Beta-Pregnanediol

Urine

Beta-Pregnanediol is a crucial metabolic byproduct of progesterone, one of the primary female sex hormones. Scientifically, Beta-Pregnanediol is a progesterone metabolite, which means it is formed when the body breaks down progesterone. Its measureme

Beta-Pregnanediol (w/ Oral Pg)

Urine

Beta-Pregnanediol, when measured in conjunction with oral progesterone supplementation serves as a critical marker for assessing the efficacy and metabolic impact of progesterone therapy. This particular metabolite of progesterone, excreted predomina

Dihydrotestosterone

Urine

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a key androgenic marker providing critical insights into androgen metabolism and its implications in female health. DHT, a biologically active metabolite of testosterone, is formed primarily in peripheral tissues through

Learn more

Estradiol

Urine

Estradiol (E2) is critical for assessing the estrogenic activity and hormonal balance in women. Estradiol, the most potent of the three major estrogens (which also include estrone and estriol), plays a pivotal role in female reproductive health, infl

Estriol

Estrone

Urine

Estrone (E1) is a significant estrogenic marker providing crucial insights into a woman's estrogen metabolism and overall hormonal balance. Estrone, primarily a product of peripheral aromatization of androstenedione, is one of the three major nat

Learn more

Free DHEA

Urine

The marker Free Dehydroepiandrosterone (Free DHEA) is a crucial indicator of adrenal gland function and overall androgen status in women. DHEA, a naturally occurring steroid hormone, is primarily produced by the adrenal glands and is a precursor to b

Learn more

Testosterone

Urine

Testosterone, a key androgen hormone typically associated with male physiology, plays a significant role in female health. In women, testosterone is produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands, and peripheral tissues, and it contributes to muscle strengt

Total 17-Ketosteroids

Urine

Total Estrogen Load

Urine

The marker "Total Estrogen Load" in a FU Female FMV Urine Comprehensive Hormone Panel is a critical measure for assessing the overall estrogenic activity in a woman's body. This comprehensive assessment quantifies the cumulative levels

Waking Cortisol

Urine

The marker "Waking Cortisol" is an essential indicator of adrenal gland function and stress response. Cortisol, often referred to as the "stress hormone," is produced by the adrenal cortex and plays a pivotal role in numerous phys
