Normal plasma testosterone 6-9 ng/ml
nmol/L x 28.8 = ng/100 ml
ng/100 ml x 0.0347 = nmol/L
How much is 46ng/mL after converted to nL
Your units are not very clear, and they are important.
Reference ranges can vary from lab to lab.
Testosterone levels in nmol/L are from about 10-35 nmol/L
Your T/E ratio was in a blood or urine test? Usually this is done in urine.
The testosterone to epitestosterone for most people is usually at a ratio of 1:1 (approximately). A level above 6:1 indicates steroid use.
Thanks for your reply Science Lady.
It was a urine test collected 19 days before it was received by the lab (Aegis), and took 13 days to complete. This seems peculiar to me, but it's my first sports related drug screening, so I don't have much to compare it too.
Is it possible a urine sample will chemically degrade over time?
The reason for that question is I was guilty of using Boldenone, Methandienone, Nandrolone, Oxymetholone, and Testoterone, (and Trenbolone which wasn't screened), but only the Nandrolone tested positive - and since it theoretically could have been a OTC supplement, and my T/E ratio of 4.0 is normal I was given a "pass" on the test. It was also commented that my Testosterone level was normal, or slightly elevated.
My Testosterone was 46 ng/mL, and my Epitestorone was 11.4 ng/mL. My Specific Gravity was normal - whatever that is?
I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I'm baffled at how I could run 3g EW of gear and still "pass"?
I was having to many positive effects, and side effects to believe it was bogus gear.
Thanks again Tatyana, any additional insight will be appreciated.
