Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (M & F)
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (M & F) is a clinical biomarker on the Hormones panel, reported in nmol/L. Standard reference range: Male 10–50 · Female 17–124 nmol/L. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: Male 40–46 · Female 50–80 nmol/L.
What is Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (M & F)?
SHBG binds sex hormones (primarily testosterone and estradiol) to regulate their bioavailability; SHBG levels influence the free fractions of both androgens and estrogens.
