- Fasting Insulin: 2-20 µU/mL
- High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP): Below 1.0 mg/L indicates low cardiovascular risk
- Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT): 0-30 U/L

- IGF-1: Varies by age and sex, typically 100-300 ng/mL for adults
- Total Testosterone: 300-1,000 ng/dL for men
- Free Testosterone: 5-21 ng/dL for men
- Estradiol (Estrogen): 10-50 pg/mL for men, varies for women by menstrual phase
- Dihydrotestosterone (DHT): 30-85 ng/dL for men
