The (TAAAA)n microsatellite polymorphism in the SHBG gene influences serum SHBG levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Reproduction, 2006
Hyperandrogenaemia is a common feature of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) gene was proposed as being a PCOS candidate gene. A possible influence of the microsatellite polymorphism (TAAAA)(n) in the SHBG gene on serum SHBG levels in PCOS patients was investigated.One hundred and twenty-three PCOS patients and ...

Associations of Serum Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) Levels with SHBG Gene Polymorphisms in the CARDIA Male Hormone Study [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Epidemiology, 2008
In the sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) gene, a pentanucleotide-repeat polymorphism [(TAAAA)(n)] and a single nucleotide polymorphism (D327N) have been associated with circulating SHBG concentrations in women. Only one study, limited to Scandinavians, has examined these associations in men.

Circulating sex hormone binding globulin levels are modified with intensive lifestyle intervention, but their changes did not independently predict diabetes risk in the Diabetes Prevention Program

open access: yesBMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care, 2020
Introduction Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels are reported to be inversely associated with diabetes risk. It is unknown whether diabetes prevention interventions increase SHBG and whether resultant changes in SHBG affect diabetes risk.

Classic and Novel Sex Hormone Binding Globulin Effects on the Cardiovascular System in Men

open access: yesInternational Journal of Endocrinology, 2021
In men, 70% of circulating testosterone binds with high affinity to plasma sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), which determines its bioavailability in their target cells.
