Insulin resistance and sex hormone-binding globulin are independently correlated with low free testosterone levels in obese males.

Only registered users can translate articles

Male obesity is associated with decreased testosterone levels but the pathophysiological mechanisms behind this association are not completely understood. This study aimed to investigate the impact of hyperglycaemia/insulin resistance and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels on testosterone

Effects of diet and metformin administration on sex hormone-binding globulin, androgens, and insulin in hirsute and obese women.

Only registered users can translate articles

Evidence suggests that hyperinsulinemic insulin resistance may increase serum levels of ovarian androgens and reduce sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels in humans. The present study was conducted to assess the effect of administration of the biguanide metformin, a drug commonly used in the

Association of N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide and sex hormone-binding globulin in non-obese peri- and postmenopausal women.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The relationships between N-terminal fragment proBNP (B-type natriuretic peptide) (NT-proBNP) and sex steroid hormones have not been fully elucidated. We examined these associations in pre-, peri- and postmenopausal women without known cardiovascular disease. We also examined the change

Distinction of hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype from simple abdominal obesity: interaction with sex hormone-binding globulin levels to confer high coronary risk.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The associations of total testosterone (TT) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) with the hypertriglyceridemic waist (HtgW) phenotype and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk have scarcely been examined. We explored such cardiometabolic risk mediations in middle-aged

Racial disparities in metabolism, central obesity, and sex hormone-binding globulin in postmenopausal women.

Only registered users can translate articles

Increased total and intraabdominal fat (IAF) obesity as well as other metabolic conditions associated with the insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) are related to low levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) in young and older Caucasian (CAU) and young African-American (AA) women. We examined

Serum Androgens and sex hormone binding globulin in obese Pima indian females.

Only registered users can translate articles

Levels of serum androgens and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) were measured in 20 obese Pima Indian females aged 19-44 and compared with those of normal-weight Caucasians aged 20-46. The Pima exhibited significantly decreased SHBG compared to Caucasians, but a strong effect of age on androgen

Association of Central Obesity with Sex Hormonebinding Globulin: A Cross-sectional Study of 1166 Chinese Men.

Only registered users can translate articles

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. Methodology We performed a cross-sectional

Plasma sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and obesity in breast cancer patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

The important finding was that sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) binds 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) with more efficacy than 17 beta-estradiol in patients with breast cancer and that SHBG binds it with less efficacy than 17 beta-estradiol in normal women. An unexpected finding was that there

Corticosteroid binding globulin gene polymorphism influences cortisol driven fat distribution in obese women.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis has been reported to influence fat mass distribution in obesity. We investigated the hypothesis that corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) polymorphism could influence obesity, metabolic, or hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis activity parameters. In 44 obese

Plasma sex hormone-binding globulin rather than corticosteroid-binding globulin is a marker of insulin resistance in obese adult males.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Plasma levels of corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) may be regulated by insulin. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that these steroid-binding proteins are markers of insulin resistance and obesity in adult patients with the

Plasma levels of sex hormone-binding globulin, corticosteroid-binding globulin and cortisol in overweight subjects who develop impaired fasting glucose: a 3-year prospective study.

Only registered users can translate articles

Circulating sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), and total and calculated free cortisol were measured in 206 overweight subjects to investigate whether or not they were markers of insulin resistance. Measurements were carried out on two occasions 36 months

Associations of glucocorticoid receptor and corticosteroid-binding globulin gene polymorphisms on fat mass and fat mass distribution in prepubertal obese children.

Only registered users can translate articles

Previous studies conducted in adult obese patients have shown that glucocorticoid receptor and corticosteroid-binding globulin gene polymorphisms influence cortisol-driven obesity and metabolic parameters. We investigated the impact of these polymorphisms in prepubertal obese children that were

Characterization of obese women with reduced sex hormone-binding globulin concentrations.

Only registered users can translate articles

Factors influencing sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) concentrations in obesity are poorly understood. Preliminary observations suggest that dietary lipids may be involved and there are data confirming a direct inhibiting effect of insulin. Since only some obese subjects show lowered SHBG levels,

Achievement of near-normal body weight as the prerequisite to normalize sex hormone-binding globulin concentrations in massively obese men.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of weight loss on sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) in massively obese males and whether normal SHBG concentrations could be obtained regardless or not of the achievement of normal body weight values. METHODS Sera were collected for SHBG determination from 63

Sex hormone-binding globulin, oligomenorrhea, polycystic ovary syndrome, and childhood insulin at age 14 years predict metabolic syndrome and class III obesity at age 24 years.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that oligomenorrhea (menstrual cyclicity ≥42 days), hyperandrogenism, low levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), childhood insulin, and metabolic syndrome (MetS) at age 14 years would predict MetS and class III obesity (body mass index ≥40 kg/m(2)) at age 24
