ALANINE TRANSFERASE *118 IU/L (10.00 - 50.00)
- elevated by training, sore muscles, lack of recovery time
- probably harmless
CK *302 IU/L (38.00 - 204.00)
- see above
You can test AST/ALT when you have some time off from training.
Ferritin could be better. Enough red meat? Consider 80 ug/L a minimun
fT4 is high range
fT3 is a bit below mid-range
ferritin has some influence on T4–>T3
E2 is too low as FT is very low
LH/FSH can be tested to see if problem is in the testes or the pituitary
Oxandrolone will not increase E2, does not show up as T and is HPTA repressive. steroid.com/Oxandrolone.php
Does not provide T benefits, most DHT.
Please eval overall thyroid function via last paragraph in this post.
Need AM and PM temperatures.
Your FT should provide decent temps.
You may be suffering from over training which can damage hormone systems.
Driving through training with adrenalin can be harmful when energy levels are poor from [low-T | low thyroid | low cortisol ]
PROLACTIN *525.5 mIU/L (86.00 - 324.00)
This can be up from recent orgasm, cuddling puppies or babies.
Could be indicating a prolactin pituitary adinoma.
Prolactin is HPTA repressive.
Can lower energy, libido and mood.
MRI is used to determine size.
Condition easily managed with 0.5mg/week cabergoline/Dostinex
Problem if getting large, pressing on optic nerves where width of peripheral vision, should be ~ 180 degrees, would be an early symptom.
Get another lab to confirm elevated before MRI considered.

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.
