Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Low serum Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) has been proposed as an indicator of the Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and cardiovascular disease in men. On the other hand, the (TAAAA)n repeat polymorphism in the SHBG gene has been shown to affect SHBG levels. The possible role of this polymorphism in the MS was examined in the present study. DESIGN: The study population consisted of 83 men with MS aged...
