Importance of Albumin and Free Testosterone for Optimizing Pro-Androgenic Effects on Cognitive Function
1:35:34 - 1:45:21 (09:47)
The level of free testosterone is crucial for optimizing the pro-androgenic effects of testosterone on cognitive function, with albumin playing an important role in testosterone transportation. The goal is not to free up all testosterone but to get free testosterone into a range that works for an individual's needs.

Creatine seems to increase five-alpha reductase or make the testosterone molecule more susceptible to certain enzymatic reactions that lead to increases in DHT.

Summary
Creatine seems to increase five-alpha reductase or make the testosterone molecule more susceptible to certain enzymatic reactions that lead to increases in DHT. The major effect is up in the hypothalamus, where it shuts down the production of GNRH, the hormone that stimulates testosterone and estrogen release.

While binding globulins are not present to hinder gains in the gym, these globulins are actually responsible for transporting testosterone to specific tissues, allowing for the rate of bound and unbound testosterone to be regulated.

Summary
While binding globulins are not present to hinder gains in the gym, these globulins are actually responsible for transporting testosterone to specific tissues, allowing for the rate of bound and unbound testosterone to be regulated. Studies have shown that optimizing free testosterone is crucial for improving performance in the gym and increasing libido.
