Genetically predicted sex hormone binding globulin and ischemic heart disease in men and women: a univariable and multivariable Mendelian randomization study
Abstract Men are more vulnerable to ischemic heart disease (IHD) than women, possibly due to testosterone. Correspondingly, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) which lowers circulating testosterone might protect men against IHD. SHBG may also affect IHD independent of testosterone, which has not pre...
