We found a reduced risk of impaired glucose regulation (IGR) and T2DM in male smokers with normal weight (body mass index (BMI) < 25 kg/m<sup>2</sup> or waist circumference (WC) < 90 cm) compared with nonsmokers after adjusting for age, alcohol intake, physical activity, educational level, family history of diabetes, SBP, DBP, TG, TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C.
There is no consensus as to the optimal SBP target for patients with T2DM, though data suggest a benefit to targeting SBP < 130 mmHg in patients with less-intensive glucose control.
Associations of serum sex hormone binding globulin with bone mineral densities and higher 10-year probability of fractures in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
In terms of the prospective studies, our results showed decreases in TT (WMD: -2.35, 95%CI: -3.24 to -1.46), FT (WMD: -25.96, 95%CI: -83.98 to 32.05), and SHBG (WMD: -10.06, 95%CI: -13.29 to -6.84) in patients with T2DM.
VVV of SBP is a significant risk factor of DKD among T2DM patients on top of mean and max BP values, which provides additional significant predictive information.
There was little evidence for an association of genetic liability to type 2 diabetes, parity, or circulating levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and sex hormone binding globulin with ovarian cancer or its subtypes.
Polymorphisms of the <i>SHBG</i> gene linked to low SHBG protein levels also strongly predicted increased risk of type 2 diabetes, thus raising the possibility that SHBG may play a role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and diabetes.
To compare achievement of quality goals (HbA1c, weight loss/body mass index [BMI], systolic blood pressure [SBP]), including maintaining HbA1c, between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with canagliflozin 300 mg (CANA) or a GLP-1 in an actual practice setting.
Menstrual dysfunction is common in girls with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes and associated with alterations in sex steroids, SHBG, and AST but not with alteration in insulin sensitivity or β-cell function and did not improve with 2 years of antihyperglycemic treatment.
However, SHBG was no longer associated with incident T2D after additional adjustment for TT (OR 0.92 [0.71, 1.17], p = 0.48; TT in incident T2D: OR 0.73 [0.57, 0.92], p = 0.01) and after separate adjustment for DHT (OR 0.83 [0.64, 1.08], p = 0.16; DHT in incident T2D: OR 0.83 [0.65, 1.05], p = 0.13).
CDC = Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; CI = confidence interval; CVD = cardiovascular disease; DXA = dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; EMAS = European Male Aging Study; FDA = U.S. Food and Drug Administration; FHS = Framingham Heart Study; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; HOMA-IR = homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; LH = luteinizing hormone; OR = odds ratio; PSA = prostate-specific antigen; SHBG = sex hormone-binding globulin; T2DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus; vBMD = volumetric bone mineral density.
Our findings support a SBP treatment target of 140 mmHg and suspect no risk reduction attenuation on CVD for lower SBP targets (<120 or <130 mmHg) for most patients with uncomplicated T2DM.
Interest in SHBG has escalated in recent years because of its inverse association with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes type II.
Further, many of the environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals may exert their potential adverse effects on cardiometabolic outcomes via either estrogenic or androgenic signaling pathways, highlighting the importance of using the sex steroids and SHBG as important biochemical markers in both clinical and population studies in studying sex-specific mechanisms in the pathogenesis of T2D and its complications, as well as the need to equitably allocate resources in studying both men and women.
