Sex-specific metabolic profiles of androgens and its main binding protein SHBG in a middle aged population without diabetes

Abstract The role of androgens in metabolism with respect to sex-specific disease associations is poorly understood. Therefore, we aimed to provide molecular signatures in plasma and urine of androgen action in a sex-specific manner using state-of-the-art metabolomics techniques. Our study populatio...
