Sex hormone-binding globulin levels predict insulin sensitivity, disposition index, and cardiovascular risk during puberty
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Early puberty is associated with increased risk of subsequent cardiovascular disease. Low sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels are a feature of early puberty and of conditions associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The aim of the present study was to evaluate SHBG as a predictor of glucose metabolism and metabolic risk during puberty.
