Low hemoglobin means that a person's hemoglobin level when measured, is below the lowest limits of normal for their age and sex (see the above-normal range of values). For example, a 19-year-old male would have low hemoglobin if the detected blood value was below 13.6 g/dl. Another te...

“preferential aromatizers”, meaning there is increased conversion of testosterone to estrogen via the aromatase pathway. This explains in some, the paradoxical response to HCG which may initially raised testosterone levels. However, upon conversion to estrogen, the increased estrogen level then shuts...
