[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 113081"] Many times the articles, more specifically, the research articles we read relating to all the various components of TRT are not written for the layman to understand. Therefore, I believe a lot of us, myself included, stop reading because trying to self-educate ourselves can be a difficult mission. I found an article that helps a simple man like me understand SHBG and explains it in such a way that even I can relate to it. SHBG is one of the most critical factors in determining what protocol each of us utilizes in our own testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Most all of you on this forum already understand this information but for the new folks joining the forum maybe it will provide a helping hand in understanding something so important. [B]Do You Know Your Sex Hormone Status?[/B] [B]SHBG: The Master Regulator for Testosterone and Estrogen: SHBG[/B] is a protein produced primarily in the liver, although the testes, uterus, brain, and placenta also synthesize it.
