Sex hormone binding globulin in breast cancer [PDF]
Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry, 2008 The present study was undertaken to determine the significance of sex hormone binding globulin, the major and specific binding protein for testosterone and estradiol, in breast cancer. Among breast cancer patients, lower serum levels of Sex hormone binding globulin and higher levels of testosterone were observed.

Sex hormone binding globulin and insulin resistance [PDF]
Clinical Endocrinology, 2013 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 in Children and Adolescents
Journal of Clinical Research in Pediatric Endocrinology, 2016 Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a circulating glycoprotein that transports testosterone and other steroids in the blood. Interest in SHBG has escalated in recent years because of its inverse association with obesity and insulin resistance, and because many studies have linked lower circulating levels of SHBG to metabolic syndrome, type 2 ...
