Abstract excerpt
Plasma steroid-binding globulins, for example, corticosteroid-binding globulin and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), have been identified in a number of vertebrates. One possible function of these proteins is to regulate the amount of steroid delivery to target tissues, as only free steroids are believed to diffuse from the circulation to target cells. Male tree lizards, Urosaurus ornatus, exhibit alternative...
