SHBG Regulation Strategies

Meaning

SHBG Regulation Strategies involve clinical protocols aimed at modulating the circulating concentration and binding affinity of Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin, the primary carrier protein for androgens and estrogens. Modifying SHBG is essential because it directly controls the fraction of free, biologically active hormones available to target tissues. Successful regulation shifts the balance toward optimal free hormone levels, improving clinical outcomes related to vitality and metabolic health. This requires understanding the liver’s role in its synthesis.
