Greater than 99 % of circulating thyroid hormones are bound to plasma proteins including thyroxine-binding globulin, thyroxine-binding prealbumin, and albumin.
12.
"' Promegestone "'( albumin; it does not bind to sex hormone-binding globulin, and binds only weakly to transcortin.
13.
It is approximately twice as potent as micronized estradiol orally and has a comparatively reduced impact on liver parameters such as changes in sex hormone-binding globulin production.
14.
ABP has the same amino acid sequence as sex hormone-binding globulin ( SHBG ); the difference is the site of production and the addition of different sugar moieties.
15.
Also, drostanolone binds sex hormone-binding globulin ( SHBG ) which usually will bind a portion of free sex hormones and steroids, like testosterone, and inactivate them.
16.
In plasma, 98 % of testosterone is bound to protein, with 65 % bound to sex hormone-binding globulin ( SHBG ) and 33 % bound weakly to albumin.
17.
Hepatic synthesis of corticosteroid-binding globulin more than doubles in pregnancy; that is, unbound plasma cortisol in term pregnancy is approximately 2.5 times that of nonpregnant women.
18.
The saturation of binding spots on " thyronine-binding globulin " ( TBG ) by endogenous T3 can be estimated by the " triiodothyronine resin uptake test ".
19.
Like most hormones, testosterone is supplied to target tissues in the blood where much of it is transported bound to a specific plasma protein, sex hormone-binding globulin ( SHBG ).
20.
In blood, almost all thyroid hormone ( 99.97 % ) is bound to plasma proteins such as thyroxine-binding globulin; only the free unbound thyroid hormone is biologically active.
