SHBG stands for sex hormone-binding globulin<\/a> which is a protein mainly produced in the liver. This protein binds certain hormones like testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estradiol (Estrogen). After binding SHBG carries these hormones in the bloodstream. This is the body\u2019s way to control the levels of the hormone as they are in bound<\/g> state and are not available for cells to use. Hence the low level of SHBG suggests that the body has more level of hormones to use and the high level denotes availability of fewer hormones to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The normal level of SHBG varies according to the age and gender of the person. For males, the normal level is 10-57nmol\/L and for females 18-144 nmol\/L. As the values denote that men have a low level of SHBG than females. But this SHBG level increases with age in men and the testosterone level decreases. Testosterone is the main male sex hormone which regulates fertility, fat distribution, muscle mass, and red blood cells production. Inadequate level of testosterone results in infertility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
