Panel "Male weight and potency"
The “Weight and Potency in Men” profile is designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of factors affecting body weight, energy levels, sexual function, and metabolism. Excess weight, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and chronic fatigue may be associated with hormonal disorders, insulin resistance, and changes in lipid metabolism.
The profile helps identify possible causes of these conditions, assess the risk of metabolic disorders, and determine further diagnostic or treatment strategies.
The profile includes:
- FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone)
- LH (luteinizing hormone)
- Total testosterone
- SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin)
- Prolactin
- TSH (ultrasensitive)
- Vitamin D (25-OH)
- Blood glucose
- Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)
- Total cholesterol
- LDL
- HDL
- Triglycerides
- Leptin
Hormonal parameters help assess pituitary and gonadal function, as well as possible causes of decreased testosterone levels.
Glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and leptin help assess carbohydrate metabolism, identify signs of insulin resistance, and evaluate disturbances in energy metabolism.
The lipid profile helps assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases, while vitamin D and TSH may help identify additional factors contributing to reduced energy, weight gain, and deterioration of overall well-being.
