    unit convertion question ...

    In this month Muscular development issue , they say 350 - 400 NANOGRAMS/liter of blood of total testosterone is our body demands . In Canada , my bloodwork say 6 - 35 N/mol per liter of blood(N/mol means NANOMOL) ... Anybody did chemestry 101 in high school ? I'm kind of shy to ask my doctor or pharmacist ...

    Testosterone ng/dL nmol/L Unit Conversion -- EndMemo

    The mass of a substance measured in moles (or nanomoles) will change based on the molecular weight of the substance being measured. But that calculator is set for testosterone 's 288.42 g/mol.

    I believe either you or the editor of Muscular Development made a typo. The correct range should be 350-400 ng/dL

    350 ng/dl = 3.5 µg/L 400ng/dl = 4.0 µg/L

    3.5 µg/L x 1mole/288.42g = 0.0121 µmol/L or 12 nM/L

    4.0 µg/L x 1mole/288.42g = 0.0139 µmol/L or 14 nM/L

    So the 350-400 µg/dL converted to nM/L is 12-14 nM/L
