Hi Carol,

I have answered this a week ago. I do not know of any SHBG injections and there is no reason to have it. SHBG may be low in PCOSers not because of insulin resistence but because of elevated androgens. It would be futile to have it injected because it would be destroyed as all other proteins are, but if your androgens are lowered, SHBG will increase automatically. I do not know of a link between SHBG, depression and IR (my ignorance?). Would you clarify please. By the way, why would you take estrogens for PCOS? Looking forward to your answer

Sam
