A member asked:
If you have normal t levels but high shbg levels, would this mean your ft would be most likely low.?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Correct: Shbg binds t with great affinity. Higher shbg in general means a lower ft for any given level of t.

Free Testosterone: If you have elevated shbh (for whatever reason) it is likely that your free testosterone will be low because more will be bound.
