Genetic polymorphisms are associated with serum levels of sex hormone binding globulin in postmenopausal women

open access: yesBMC Medical Genetics, 2008
Background Estrogen activity plays a critical role in bone homeostasis. The serum levels of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) influence free estrogen levels and activity on target tissues.

SHBG concentration in girls during puberty [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Research, 1978
Using a membrane filter method the role of Sexual Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) during female sexual development was investigated. Details on the method and values in boys have already been reported. Before puberty there is no sex difference in SBHG levels.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin Modifies Testosterone Action and Metabolism in Prostate Cancer Cells

open access: yesInternational Journal of Endocrinology, 2016
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is the major serum carrier of sex hormones. However, growing evidence suggests that SHBG is internalised and plays a role in regulating intracellular hormone action.

Human sex hormone-binding globulin does not provide metabolic protection against diet-induced obesity and dysglycemia in mice

open access: yesEndocrine Connections, 2018
Background: Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is the main transporter of sex hormones in most vertebrates. Low SHBG levels have been linked to increased risk for diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Governance and infrastructure as pillars of performance: A socio‐ecological analysis of Ethiopian botanical gardens

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
While botanical gardens are often perceived merely as recreational spaces for a weekend walk, in the Global South, they are true lifelines for nature and for the people who depend on it. Our research in Ethiopia explored what actually keeps these gardens running long‐term.

SHBG and Insulin Resistance - Nexus revisited

open access: yesBioinformation
Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is a liver-synthesized glycoprotein. Low SHBG levels are associated with insulin resistance (IR). Specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SHBG gene are linked to IR. Therefore, it is of interest to provide a review on the comprehensive overview for SHBG related to IR.

Associations of Sex-Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) with Non-SHBG-Bound Levels of Testosterone and Estradiol in Independently Living Men [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2005
Results of in vitro experiments indicate that with increasing concentrations of SHBG, testosterone (T) is preferentially bound to SHBG in comparison with estradiol (E2). In these studies, the ratio of non-SHBG-bound E2 (non-SHBG-E2) to non-SHBG-T increased with increasing levels of SHBG. SHBG has consequently been regarded as an estrogen amplifier.

Sex Hormones and the Risk of Nasal Polyps: A Two‐Sample Mendelian Randomization Study

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The pathophysiological roles of sex hormones in airway inflammation have drawn much attention recently. We aimed to explore the causal effect of sex hormones on chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and nasal polyps (NP) via a Mendelian randomization (MR) study.

Testicular histopathology and its association with germ cell numbers, serum concentrations of reproductive hormones, and semen quality

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background It is well‐established that spermatogenesis, semen quality, and reproductive hormones are interlinked. It is, however, less well‐described how various specific testicular histopathologies are linked to reproductive hormones and semen quality.

Living Together, Loving Apart: Health, Sexuality and Relationships in Middle‐Aged and Older Men in Europe

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Over time, family structures have grown more complex, diversifying adult relationships. While research has compared marital, cohabiting and living apart together relationships based on quality and health, less is known about their sexual dynamics.
