SHBG is a protein produced by the liver in response to exposure to any estrogen. Testosterone binds about three times more tightly to SHBG than does estradiol, so this increase in SHBG as a result of estrogen exposure causes the relative proportion of bioavailable testosterone to estradiol to decrease even further, exacerbating the symptoms of testosterone deficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow SHBG levels:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive body hair\/male-pattern hair growth (hirsutism)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDandruff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaldness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoice deepening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased muscle mass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced breast size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIrregular or absent periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis test evaluates whether the concentration of SHBG affects the amount of testosterone available to the body’s tissues.
