Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is a glycoprotein composed of two 373‐amino‐acid
subunits. The SHBG gene and a promotor region have been identified. The SHBG receptor …

Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) has emerged as one of the multiple genetic and

The level of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is associated with glucose metabolism in
nondiabetic women and men, and the finding of low SHBG levels is suggested to be a …

Context: The plasma level of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), a glycoprotein

Sex hormone—binding globulin (SHBG) binds testosterone, determining the level of free,
biologically active hormone, and is a sensitive indicator of androgen status in women. SHBG …

Epidemiological studies consistently show that circulating sex hormone binding globulin
(SHBG) levels are lower in type 2 diabetes patients than non-diabetic individuals, but the …

Background Circulating sex hormone–binding globulin levels are inversely associated with
insulin resistance, but whether these levels can predict the risk of developing type 2 …

In humans, the plasma level of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is regulated by
several hormones. We have now accumulated evidence that SHBG is also intimately related …

Sex hormones may influence risk factors for noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
(NIDDM). Decreased sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG; an indirect measure of …

OBJECTIVE Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) has been shown to be associated with
