IntroductionStudies have indicated that low serum sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and testosterone levels are associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, it remains unclear whether an association exists between SHBG and NAFLD independent of testosterone.ObjectiveThis study was aimed to investigate the relationship between SHBG and both total and free testosterone levels with NAFLD.Subjects and MeasuresOne hundred and twenty patients with NAFLD and 120 age-, sex- and BMI-matched patients with non-NAFLD were enrolled into a case-control study. Serums SHBG, total testosterone (TT), liver enzymes, lipids, insulin, C-peptide and plasma glucose were measured. Free testosterone (FT) and fatty liver index were calculated.ResultsSerum SHBG levels were significantly lower in NAFLD group than in non-NAFLD group (24 center dot 5 +/- 11 center dot 0 vs 37 center dot 6 +/- 14 center dot 4 nm, P
