A saliva test is the most accurate. There can be great differences between the two. I know from experienece. Astronauts will only have testosterone taken by saliva and not blood.

]]> Comment on Flower Power? Tribulus Terristris Offers Potent Advantages by Paul http://blog.bodybuilding.com/StudiesAndResearch/2009/10/26/flower-power-tribulus-terristris-offers-potent-advantages/#comment-11295781 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:06:19 +0000 http://blog.bodybuilding.com/StudiesAndResearch/2009/10/26/flower-power-tribulus-terristris-offers-potent-advantages/#comment-11295781 Another great underlying ability of tribulus is to tonify the body. It is one of several herbs that are on the pending list to be confirmed as true adaptogenic herbs, along with black truffle and a handful of others. Few people are aware of testosterone as an antimicrobial agent. It isn't technically, but Tribulus can support your body's weight immensely while you are sick or injured. Case in point. I know a guy who developed Hashimoto's Thyroidiosis two years ago. He became emaciated, and went from 155 down to 110. I suggested he start taking tribulus at least to support normal body weight. Once he did, in spite of his illnes, he jumped up to 136 pounds in one month, without any exercise. Getting sick and working out doesn't mix well, but tribulus has the ability to support your immune system, and tonify your whole body, really helping out in the area of preventive medicine. The exact products my buddy took were Viraloid and T-500 Extreme, but I'm sure there are other good trib products out there. Another great underlying ability of tribulus is to tonify the body.

]]> Comment on GlycoCarn (Glycine Propionyl-L-Carnitine) And Nitric Oxide by jim sproles http://blog.bodybuilding.com/StudiesAndResearch/2008/12/12/glycocarnglycine-propionyl-l-carnitine-nitric-oxide/#comment-11238291 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:52:01 +0000 http://blog.bodybuilding.com/StudiesAndResearch/2008/12/12/glycocarnglycine-propionyl-l-carnitine-nitric-oxide/#comment-11238291 The April 2004 issue of the Journal of Urology published the findings of Italian researchers that the amino acid L-carnitine is more active than testosterone in improving symptoms of aging in men, such as sexual dysfunction and depression associated with the decline of androgenic hormones. One-hundred-twenty men between the ages of 60 and 74 with symptoms of low testosterone were randomized to receive 160 milligrams of orally-administered testosterone undecanoate, 2 grams propionyl-L-carnitine, plus 2 grams acetyl-L-carnitine per day, or to receive a placebo, for a six month period. Many parameters were assessed before treatment, at three months, and after the treatment period, including such parameters as prostate-specific antigens, prostate volume, nocturnal penile tumescence, total and free testosterone, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, erectile function scores, depression and fatigue. Erectile function, sexual desire, sexual satisfaction and nocturnal penile tumescence increased over the course of the study in the group receiving testosterone as well as the group receiving L-carnitine. In addition, the group receiving L-carnitine experienced an increase in orgasm and general sexual well-being. Erectile function and nocturnal penile tumescence were significantly improved in the L-carnitine group compared to the testosterone group. While both treatments lowered depression scores, L-carnitine's effect was greater. Predictably, treatment with testosterone increased serum total and free testosterone and decreased luteinizing hormone levels, but L-carnitine's effect on these hormones was not significant. Treatment with L-carnitine was not associated with an increase in prostate volume as was testosterone treatment after six months. PSA levels did not increase in any of the groups. Fatigue was likewise improved in both groups. As one negative effect, the men taking testosterone developed enlargement of the prostate, which did not occur in the L-carnitine treated group. Although both testosterone and L-carnitine improved symptoms of male aging, there was an overall superior benefit of L-carnitine with no real side effects. L-carnitine is an essential nutrient that has vitamin-like qualities. It is considered essential in helping transport fatty acids into the mitochondria (the power plants of the cells). A deficiency in L-carnitine can, therefore, result in an overall reduction in energy production by the cells. It is well known that individuals can become L-carnitine-deficient for a number of reasons. L-carnitine, aside from being an incredible anti-aging nutrient, has shown to be beneficial for multiple medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease such as angina and congestive heart failure, liver and kidney disease, obstructive lung disease, and many others. L-carnitine has actually even shown to be beneficial in AIDS patients. Although it is unusual to see physicians prescribing vitamins in the hospital, acetyl L-carnitine is routinely prescribed by kidney specialists for their patients since the kidney is a major site of L-carnitine synthesis. Although tissue L-carnitine levels have been found to be positively associated with sex hormone levels, the findings of this study show that the compound's action is not strictly linked to sex hormone blood levels. L-carnitine's mechanism of action against reactive oxygen species (ROS) is different than conventional anti-ROS compounds tried for conditions associated with male aging, which may help explain its effectiveness.
