An aqueous 2-phase equilibrium partition system was used to assay SHBG were analyzed. The induction of SHBG showed considerable differences between different estrogens. Ethynyl-estradiol in a daily dose of 0.05 mg gave a 70% increase in the serum concentration of this liver derived protein. Estradiol-17.beta., 2 mg daily and estrone sulfate 1.25 mg gave moderate changes, whereas estriol in different doses had no effect. SHBG induction may reflect estrogen overtreatment.
