Why test pregnenolone levels?
Testing pregnenolone levels can be useful in diagnosing hormonal imbalances or conditions affecting steroid hormone production. It is helpful for individuals experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, memory problems, or other symptoms that might indicate hormonal imbalances. It can also be beneficial in evaluating the function of the adrenal glands and the gonads (testes and ovaries).
What does it indicate?
The amount of pregnenolone in the blood indicates how well the adrenal glands and other organs that produce steroid hormones are functioning. It can assist in diagnosing conditions such as adrenal insufficiency, PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), and other hormonal imbalances.
What does a high pregnenolone level mean?
A high level of pregnenolone may suggest an increased production of steroid hormones, which could indicate an overactive adrenal gland or other conditions. It can also be a reaction to stress, as pregnenolone plays a role in the stress response.
What does a low pregnenolone level mean?
A low level of pregnenolone may indicate reduced function of the adrenal glands or a deficiency in the precursors needed for steroid hormone production. This can lead to a range of symptoms, including fatigue, muscle weakness, mood swings, and reduced libido.
