Introduction: Free testosterone (FT) and bioavailable testosterone (BT), are better surrogate markers of the androgenic status of the individual than total testosterone (TT). Calculated FT (CFT) and calculated BT (CBT) which take into consideration the kinetics of the bond between FT and albumin and SHBG, provide results practically identical to those of the reference techniques. Salivary testosterone (Sal-T) is a promising tool in the study of gonadal pathology. The interassa...
