I’m having trouble with the nmol/L part.
What’s going on? Isn’t 49.7 nmol/L equal to 14.33 ng/ml, which is super low? For example, 430 ng/ml on my blood work with 5.77 iu converts to 1490.88 nmol/L.
Then another site lists the formula as follows:
1 ng/ml = 2.5 nmol/L
430*2.5=1075 nmol/L (and converts this way)
Then yet another one lists 430 ng/ml as 1367.4 nmol/L… so… I think I’ve been awake too long.
Am I retarded or something?
Measuring IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 Profiles in Women Seeking Assisted Reproduction; Relationship to Clinical Parameters (Study 1).
The conversion of SI units nmol/L to conventional units (ng/mL) is 7.65; hence, 25 nmol/L can be read as 191 ng/mL. This conversion factor applies for both IGF-1 and IGFBP-3.
So it's 49.7 nmol/L * 7.65 = roughly 380 ng/ml
The linked study is about women, I know, but I think the conversion is still the same (multiplictor of 7.65).
Igf-1 of roughly 400ng/ml is by the way great for 5IU GH daily.
