[Jumbo18]

Free test. Thats whats important.

Ok so youre asking if your total and free Test increase when youre on cycle?

[Jumbo18]

yes, on cycle is it just your total test that drastically increases, or your free test as well?

What is FREE test?

I think it is test that is not bound to albumin or globulin. This unbound test is free to attatch to an androgen receptor. Can anyone verify this?

WHATS total test?

[(1*)]

total is bound and free.

[chuckt12345]

you have total test when your not on cycle correct?,, im wondering what is the test you produce bound to?

[(1*)]

total test is always in your body. it's bound by another hormone i think.... free is the test that isn't bound and therefor your body can use it for what it's meant to be used for.

[(1*)]

gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone = the binding hormone that controls the bound test

[chuckt12345]

gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone = the binding hormone that controls the bound test

awesome,, that is what i was lookin for,, thanks

welcome.... i like sounding like i know what i'm talking about lol

gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone = the binding hormone that controls the bound test

Incorrect. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) as it's really called is what stimulates LH and FSH which in turn stimulate testosterone. Sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is what binds test. That and albumin.

[(1*)]

actually it's sex hormone-binding globulin... i think i cut and pasted the wrong term.. oops.
