Genetic effects on serum testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin in men: a Korean twin and family study

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2016
We conducted a community-based cross-sectional study to evaluate the role of genetics in determining the individual difference in total testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin levels.

Association of central obesity with sex hormonebinding globulin: a cross-sectional study of 1166 Chinese men

open access: yesOpen Medicine, 2018
Background Both sex hormone-binding globulin and central obesity have been found to be associated with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. However, the direct relation between sex hormone-binding globulin and central obesity has not been demonstrated.

A Genome-Wide Association Meta-Analysis of Circulating Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin Reveals Multiple Loci Implicated in Sex Steroid Hormone Regulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a glycoprotein responsible for the transport and biologic availability of sex steroid hormones, primarily testosterone and estradiol.

Avian corticosteroid-binding globulin: biological function and regulatory mechanisms in physiological stress responses

open access: yesFrontiers in Zoology, 2021
Corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) is a high-affinity plasma protein that binds glucocorticoids (GCs) and regulates their biological activities. The structural and functional properties of CBG are crucial to understanding the biological actions of GCs

Identification of sex hormone-binding globulin in the human hypothalamus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Gonadal steroids are known to influence hypothalamic functions through both genomic and non-genomic pathways. Sex hormone-binding globulin ( SHBG) may act by a non-genomic mechanism independent of classical steroid receptors.

Prevalence, Pattern and Predictors for Dyslipidemia of Chinese Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Objective: To investigate the prevalence, pattern and risk predictors for dyslipidemia among Chinese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Study Design and Methods: A total of 1,000 women diagnosed as PCOS by modified Rotterdam criteria were ...

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 ...

Circulating sex steroids and bladder pain sensitivity in dysmenorrhea

open access: yesMolecular Pain, 2021
Although elevated estradiol levels facilitate chronic pelvic pain in animal models, it remains to be determined whether sex steroid levels are altered in a cross-section of women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and those at-risk for developing CPP.
