Relation between sex hormone binding globulin and D-norgestrel levels in plasma. 1977

A Victor, and E Weiner, and E D Johansson

In order to investigate the effect of changes in sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels on d-norgestrel (d-Ng) levels in plasma, the plasma levels of SHBG and d-Ng were studied during one treatment cycle in 6 women on oral contraceptives containing d-Ng and ethinyloestradiol (EOE2) and in 3 women using subcutaneous silastic rods containing d-Ng concomitantly taking EOe2 for three weeks. A significant positive correlation between the SHBG and d-Ng levels was found in 7 of the 9 subjects studied. The results provide evidence for an in vivo binding of d-Ng to SHBG, a SHBG influence on the metabolic clearance rate of d-Ng and consequently a dependence of the plasma levels of d-Ng on the SHBG concentrations in the plasma. These findings support the concept that the clinically and biochemically observed anti-oestrogenic/androgenic effects observed in women on d-Ng containing medication are due to a displacement of testosterone from SHBG by d-Ng.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009644 Norgestrel A synthetic progestational agent with actions similar to those of PROGESTERONE. This racemic or (+-)-form has about half the potency of the levo form (LEVONORGESTREL). Norgestrel is used as a contraceptive, ovulation inhibitor, and for the control of menstrual disorders and endometriosis. 18,19-Dinorpregn-4-en-20-yn-3-one, 13-ethyl-17-hydroxy-, (17alpha)-(+-)-,DL-Norgestrel,Neogest,Ovrette,Postinor,Wy-3707,DL Norgestrel,Wy 3707,Wy3707

D004997 Ethinyl Estradiol A semisynthetic alkylated ESTRADIOL with a 17-alpha-ethinyl substitution. It has high estrogenic potency when administered orally, and is often used as the estrogenic component in ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES. 19-Norpregna-1,3,5(10)-trien-20-yne-3,17-diol, (17alpha)-,Ethynyl Estradiol,Estinyl,Ethinyl Estradiol Hemihydrate,Ethinyl Estradiol, (8 alpha)-Isomer,Ethinyl Estradiol, (8 alpha,17 alpha)-Isomer,Ethinyl Estradiol, (8 alpha,9 beta,13 alpha,14 beta)-Isomer,Ethinyl Estradiol, (9 beta,17 alpha)-Isomer,Ethinyl-Oestradiol Effik,Ethinylestradiol Jenapharm,Ethinyloestradiol,Lynoral,Microfollin,Microfollin Forte,Progynon C,Estradiol, Ethinyl,Estradiol, Ethynyl,Ethinyl Oestradiol Effik,Hemihydrate, Ethinyl Estradiol,Jenapharm, Ethinylestradiol

D012738 Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin A glycoprotein migrating as a beta-globulin. Its molecular weight, 52,000 or 95,000-115,000, indicates that it exists as a dimer. The protein binds testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and estradiol in the plasma. Sex hormone-binding protein has the same amino acid sequence as ANDROGEN-BINDING PROTEIN. They differ by their sites of synthesis and post-translational oligosaccharide modifications.
