that high levels may
increase a woman’s risk
of breast cancer

receptor-alpha in a 5:1
ratio

levels

are blocked by stress

How Do We Test
Hormone Levels?
•  Serum – “What are the circulating
concentrations of precursor hormones?”
•  Saliva – “How much of the hormones
are unbound, and therefore
bioavailable?”
•  Urine – “How is the body metabolizing
the various hormones?”
•  There is no “one right way” to test
hormones
The statements made in this presentation have not
been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Comparison of Testing
•  Urine Test (FMV or 24 Hour)
– 
– 
– 
– 
Unbound hormones and circulating metabolites
Assess hormone metabolism
Assess steroidal enzyme activity
If on HRT, use 24-hour collection method
•  Serum Test (Single Sample)
–  Circulating hormones, bound (reserve) and unbound
(active)
–  Assess baseline levels of hormone precursors
–  Some large protein hormones assessed only through
blood
•  Saliva Test (Single or Sequential Samples)
