The Association between Inflammation, Testosterone and SHBG in men: A cross‐sectional Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Earlier studies have investigated the role of obesity‐related inflammation and endogenous sex hormones in men. The role of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) with testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels in men is still debated.
