SHBG and 58% to albumin, while estrogen is 75% bound to SHBG and 20% to albumin, forming a complex that is degraded primarily in the liver.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin is a complex protein (glycoprotein) that binds to testosterone, estradiol, insulin, thyroid hormones (T3, T4), and other sex hormones, thereby regulating their availability to the body's cells.
Its concentration depends greatly on the sex hormones in the female and male body. In women, globulin levels are almost twice as high as in men. Estrogen (ESTROGEN) is predominant in females, which helps to increase SHBG. at the same time, androgen hormones (testosterone) in the male body inhibit its production.
