ENDOCRINE ASSESSMENT OF IMPOTENCE - PITFALLS OF MEASURING SERUM TESTOSTERONE WITHOUT SEX-HORMONE-BINDING GLOBULIN [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The pitfalls of measuring only total serum testosterone are illustrated by a 52 year old man whose hyperprolactinaemia was associated with normal total serum testosterone but a raised sex-hormone-binding globulin, giving a low free testosterone ...

The effects of bed rest and countermeasure exercise on the endocrine system in male adults: Evidence for immobilization-induced reduction in sex hormone-binding globulin levels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background and Aim. There is limited data on the effects of inactivity (prolonged bed-rest) on parameters of endocrine and metabolic function; we therefore aimed to examine changes in these systems during and after prolonged (56-day) bed-rest in male ...

Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin in Children and Adolescents

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Thyroxine-binding globulin: investigation of microheterogeneity [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
Preparations of T4-binding globulin (TBG) from human serum was performed using only two affinity chromatography steps. Purity of the protein was demonstrated by a single band in overloaded disc and sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, equimolar ...

Circadian and Ultradian Rhythms of Free Glucocorticoid Hormone Are Highly Synchronized between the Blood, the Subcutaneous Tissue, and the Brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Total glucocorticoid hormone levels in plasma of various species, including humans, follow a circadian rhythm that is made up from an underlying series of hormone pulses. In blood most of the glucocorticoid is bound to corticosteroid-binding globulin and
