Abstract
Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) binding capacity was measured in 50 women with severe premenstrual syndrome and 50 age-matched controls. The binding capacity was significantly lower (P = 0.001) in the patients. This finding suggests that the levels of SHBG binding capacity could be useful in the diagnosis and may help to explain the aetiology of the premenstrual syndrome.
