1 Trait anxiety and tamoxifen effects on bone mineral density and sex hormone- binding globulin. Tamoxifen sex hormone binding globulin Homo sapiens
2 OBJECTIVE: Tamoxifen therapy preserves BMD of the lumbar spine and increases levels of SHBG. Tamoxifen sex hormone binding globulin Homo sapiens
3 We assessed whether trait anxiety, a factor linked with a reactive endocrine system, is associated with differential changes in BMD and SHBG levels in response to tamoxifen therapy. Tamoxifen sex hormone binding globulin Homo sapiens
4 High anxiety also was associated with lower levels of SHBG for women using tamoxifen at 3, 12, 18, and 24 months (p values <.05). Tamoxifen sex hormone binding globulin Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSIONS: Trait anxiety is associated with greater preservation of lumbar spine BMD in response to tamoxifen and with a suppression of tamoxifen-induced increases in SHBG. Tamoxifen sex hormone binding globulin Homo sapiens
