Binding site competition and allosteric coupling can, in conditions such as postprandial and heightened fatty acids and drug usage, result in displacement of testosterone from its binding site, potentially affecting testosterone bioavailability and/or metabolism.
“Binding site competition and allosteric coupling can in certain conditions, especially postprandial and in circumstances of heightened levels of fatty acids and drug usage, result in displacement of T from its binding site thereby potentially affecting T bioavailability and/or metabolism [25, 26].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
