Steroid Binding Globulins
Steroid Binding Globulins (SBGs) are a family of proteins found in the blood of all vertebrate species. They bind tightly to many of the steroid hormones produced by the body, such as testosterone and estrogen, and are involved in the regulation of their activity. SBGs are essential for normal reproductive health, and abnormal levels can cause health problems. Furthermore, their activity can be altered by diet and lifestyle choices, as well as some medical treatments. Understanding SBGs is therefore important for maintaining reproductive health.
