This test measures salivary testosterone levels, the principal androgen in men, and can allow for the detection of hormonal imbalances related to symptoms of male andropause, as well as those related to imbalanced testosterone commonly found in women. This test can be used to assess baseline levels and monitor testosterone replacement therapy.
In the adult male, testosterone maintains the structure and function of the prostate, testes, seminal vesicles, and external male genitalia. In addition, testosterone affects lean body mass, bone density, hematopoiesis, libido and mood.
