Association of age and insulin resistance with sex hormone-binding globulin levels in healthy men
There is a significant increase in serum sex hormone-binding globulin in older healthy men, highlighting the need for age-specific reference values. Furthermore, insulin resistance seems to reduce this globulin levels, perhaps pointing out low sex hormone-binding globulin as a putative predictor of related chronic diseases.
