[11] Apart from drug-drug interactions, anabolic steroids may affect laboratory tests: testosterone therapy can decrease levels of thyroxine-binding globulin, resulting in lower total T (thyroxine) readings and higher T uptake, although free thyroid hormone levels remain unchanged and clinical hypothyroidism does not occur
These populations include but are not limited to a variety of CNS myeloid cells like microglia and meningeal macrophages (brain), alveolar macrophages (lung), Kupffer cells (liver), adipose-associated macrophages (adipose tissue), Langerhans cells (skin), osteoclasts and bone marrow macrophages (bone), and intestinal macrophages (gut)
Supporting this interpretation, a previous clinical study reported that individuals carrying SNPs associated with reduced GLUT2 expression exhibit greater responsiveness to metformin, further suggesting that decreased intestinal glucose absorption mediated by reduced expression of glucose transporters such as GLUT2 may play an important role in enhancing overall glucose homeostasis after metformin administration 52
