Testosterone-estradiol-binding globulin in patients with Turner's syndrome: effects of estrogens and acute growth hormone administration
The TeBG activity of plasma from patients with Turner's syndrome was measured quantitatively using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Human growth hormone administration did not significantly change the plasma TeBG levels. However, oral replacement therapy with estrogens elevated plasma TeBG w...

Summary: | The TeBG activity of plasma from patients with Turner's syndrome was measured quantitatively using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Human growth hormone administration did not significantly change the plasma TeBG levels. However, oral replacement therapy with estrogens elevated plasma TeBG within 3 days; after 9 days these levels reached a maximum of three- to four-fold greater than that observed at a time prior to therapy. |
