Hormone Carrier Protein Management

Meaning

Hormone Carrier Protein Management is a clinical strategy focused on modulating the synthesis and circulating levels of specific plasma proteins, such as Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) and Thyroid-Binding Globulin (TBG), to optimize the concentration of free, biologically active hormones. Since only the unbound or “free” fraction of a hormone can interact with its target receptors, managing these carrier proteins is a critical step in achieving precise endocrine balance and therapeutic efficacy. This management ensures that the administered or endogenous hormone is effectively utilized by the body.
