Sex hormone-binding globulin and arthritis: a Mendelian randomization study [PDF]
Background Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) has been reported to be a risk factor associated with the development of arthritis by previous observational studies more so of three common forms of arthritis: osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA),

Sex hormone-binding globulin regulation of androgen bioactivity in vivo: validation of the free hormone hypothesis [PDF]
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is the high-affinity binding protein for androgens and estrogens. According to the free hormone hypothesis, SHBG modulates the bioactivity of sex steroids by limiting their diffusion into target tissues.

Sex hormone binding globulin and insulin resistance [PDF]
SummarySex 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 has yet to be cloned but is known to act through a G‐protein‐linked second‐messenger system following plasma membrane binding.

Sex hormone-binding globulin controls sex-specific lipolytic activity in human abdominal subcutaneous adipocytes [PDF]
Regulation of lipid metabolism is fundamental for metabolic health, and adipose tissue is a central component in this process. Adipose tissue differs considerably between women and men in terms of a higher subcutaneous capacity for storage, which is ...

Sex-specific associations of sex hormone binding globulin and risk of bladder cancer [PDF]
Males have a three times higher risk of a diagnosis of bladder cancer (Bca) than females. Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) may be associated with Bca risk. However, the sex-specific role of SHBG in Bca remains unclear.
