Background: Previous studies have indicated that serum sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels increase with age; however, the causes remain unknown.

Assessment of trabecular bone score (TBS) in overweight/obese men: effect of metabolic and anthropometric factors [PDF]
The "trabecular bone score" (TBS) indirectly explores bone quality, independently of bone mineral density (BMD). We investigated the effects of anthropometric and metabolic parameters on TBS in 87 overweight/obese men. We assessed BMD and TBS by DXA, and

CD147/Basigin: From Integrative Molecular Hub to Translational Therapeutic Target
This review conceptualizes CD147 as a fundamental “Energy‐Structure Coupler,” physically bridging metabolic flux (via MCTs) with morphogenetic plasticity (via integrins/MMPs) to drive cancer, infection, and autoimmunity. Addressing the “specificity paradox” that limits current translation, the authors chart a strategic roadmap—spanning logic‐gated ...

Effect Differences of Omega‐3 Fatty Acids From Plant Oil and Fish Oil on Human Health
Omega‐3 fatty acids in plant oil is no less than fish oil on human health. ALA in plant oil takes directly healthy effects without conversion to DHA and EPA. Plant oil can be substitutes for fish oil to support partial ω‐3 fatty acids. For people who cannot afford fish oil, plant oil is also good for public health.

Obesity impairs male fertility through long-term effects on spermatogenesis
Objective This study aimed to investigate the effect and possible underlying mechanisms of high-fat diet-induced obesity on spermatogenesis in male rats. Methods A total of 45 male rats were randomly divided into control (n = 15, normal diet) and obesity

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

Investigations Into the Human Metabolism of Trestolone (7α‐Methyl‐19‐Nortestosterone)
As the known metabolites of 7α‐methyl‐19‐nortestosterone (MENT), M1 and M2, suffer from chromatographic issues under routine doping control conditions, the human metabolism of MENT was reinvestigated. From the numerous new metabolites detected, especially, M5 and M10 were identified as the most promising candidates to be implemented into routine ...

Is serum sex hormone-binding globulin a dominant risk factor for metabolic syndrome?
This multi-center, cross-sectional study investigated the association between serum testosterone (T) levels, serum sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels, and the risk of metabolic syndrome (MS) in 3332 adult Chinese men.
