Association between the Asp327Asn Polymorphism of Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin Gene and Prostate Cancer
Background: By binding SHBG hormone to sex hormones, in addition to carrying them in the blood, they regulate the amount of tissue availability. Since the genetic changes in the structure of globulin affect it’s binding to hormones, so in this study the effects of single nucleotide change in exon 8 or rs 6259 in the incidence of prostate cancer is evaluated. Methods: The study populati...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of Serum Level of Testosterone and Sex Hormone- Binding Globulin in Men with Type 2 Diabetes
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between serum level of testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin in men with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this case-control study, forty men aged 40-70 with type 2 diabetes mellitus were randomly selected and compared with 40 non-diabetic men. The two groups were matched for their age and BMI. After complete observation and examination...
متن کاملDiet and sex hormone-binding globulin.
The serum concentration of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is inversely related to weight and in animal studies is inversely related to protein intake. As SHBG can affect the biological activity of testosterone and estradiol, we wished to determine the role of protein intake on SHBG levels in men. Using data from the Massachusetts Male Aging Study we examined cross-sectional relationships b...
متن کاملSex hormone-binding globulin regulation of androgen bioactivity in vivo: validation of the free hormone hypothesis
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is the high-affinity binding protein for androgens and estrogens. According to the free hormone hypothesis, SHBG modulates the bioactivity of sex steroids by limiting their diffusion into target tissues. Still, the in vivo physiological role of circulating SHBG remains unclear, especially since mice and rats lack circulating SHBG post-natally. To test the fre...
متن کاملDelineation and synthesis of the membrane receptor-binding domain of sex hormone-binding globulin.
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a plasma glycoprotein which binds certain steroids. It, in turn, binds to a specific receptor on cell membranes. This work was undertaken to identify, isolate, sequence, and synthesize the region of SHBG that interacts with its membrane receptor. To accomplish this, highly purified human SHBG was digested with trypsin. The SHBG-derived tryptic peptides wer...
