Does higher values of C-Reactive Protein (inflammation) increase SHBG ???

Hi there,

So the question is simple. I have read some articles and have found a correlation between the two. Higher values of inflammation in the body can increase SHBG. I just would like some knowledgable person to approve of this, please justify if possible.


And if you are curious of my situation...

I do have high CRP values along with high SHBG.

My hormone panel looks like this:

TT:24
SHBG:53
LH:4
FSH:2
C-reactive protein: 90.9

Thanks for all the responses..
