Test measures levels cortisol, DHEA, estradiol and free testosterone. Cortisol, often referred to as the "stress hormone," plays many roles, including helping to control blood sugar levels and regulating energy metabolism. While it is the primary female hormone, estradiol is found in both sexes: As men age, their estradiol levels naturally increase; estradiol plays a role in bone maintenance, brain function, as well as male fertility. DHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone, is an androgen hormone and a precursor to testosterone. Free testosterone – the hormone most widely associated with masculinity – is important for bone density, libido, body fat distribution and supporting muscle mass.
