Nathan Goodyear on 07 May 14Since when did one medium of evaluation become the only standard. Since serum T has been the historical standard, that is the only window of evaluation?? This study points to higher free Testosterone levels in saliva versus serum. Has anyone ever thought that we are merely looking through different windows of the same process. Each window here, serum and saliva, are merely giving us different information on hormones. That doesn't make one right or wrong, it just requires interpretation. Science is about being objective! Saliva is the best means to evaluate intracellular hormone levels. These levels should be different than serum. Why should anyone think that the total levels would correlate with that delivered to a cell. Think.
