Obesity, maternal smoking and SHBG in neonates [PDF]

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome, 2016
Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), a glycoprotein produced by hepatocytes that transports testosterone and other steroids in plasma, is a marker for developing metabolic syndrome and T2DM. SHBG is present in umbilical cord blood where it may be epigenetically regulated.

Association of SHBG gene polymorphism with menarche [PDF]

MHR: Basic science of reproductive medicine, 2005
The age of menarche may be subject to hereditary influences but the specific determinants are unknown. Our aim was to investigate the possible association of a functional (TAAAA)n polymorphism in the promoter of the sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) gene with the timing of menarche. This polymorphism has been associated with polycystic ovary syndrome

Polymorphisms in theSHBGGene Influence Serum SHBG Levels in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2011
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SHBG gene are associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. SHBG has also been proposed as a candidate gene for the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).The study aims were 1) to determine whether any of four SHBG SNPs (rs1779941, rs6297, rs6259, and rs727428) are associated with PCOS and 2) to determine whether ...

Sex hormone levels – Estradiol, testosterone, and sex hormone binding globulin as a risk marker for atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in post-menopausal women

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2019
Context: Sex hormones levels determine the risk of occurrence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in post-menopausal (PM) women. Aims: To investigate the relationship between sex hormones (estradiol and testosterone)/sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and ...

Aging-related increases in serum sex hormone-binding globulin levels in men might be related to increased synthesis

Experimental Gerontology, 2023
Background: Previous studies have indicated that serum sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels increase with age; however, the causes remain unknown.

Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) expression in ovarian carcinomas and its clinicopathological associations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is known as a carrier protein. It is classically thought to be mainly synthesized in the liver and then secreted into the circulating system, where it binds to sex steroids with a high affinity and modulates the bio ...

Testosterone, SHBG and cardiovascular health in postmenopausal women [PDF]

International Journal of Impotence Research, 2010
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) affects men and women differently with women having a lower incidence and later onset of disease. Research has recently refocused interest on the cardiovascular role of androgens. The purpose of this review is to summarize the evidence available on the association between testosterone and cardiovascular health in ...

SHBG levels in primary infertile men: a critical interpretation in clinical practice

Endocrine Connections, 2020
Objective: We aimed to test the association between age, BMI and sex-horm one–binding globulin (SHBG) in a homogenous cohort of white-European men presenting for primary couple’s infertility. Design: Retrospective study.

SHBG is an important factor in stemness induction of cells by DHT in vitro and associated with poor clinical features of prostate carcinomas. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Androgen plays a vital role in prostate cancer development. However, it is not clear whether androgens influence stem-like properties of prostate cancer, a feature important for prostate cancer progression.
