Abstract
Blood samples were collected from 120 normally menstruating women throughout the menstrual cycle. Serum was assayed for sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T). There was an inverse relationship between SHBG and DHEAS, but no relationship between T or E2 and SHBG levels. There is at present no model which readily explains this inverse relationship between SHBG and DHEAS in normal subjects.Keywords
