Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is a protein that is produced by the liver and binds tightly to the hormones testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and estradiol (an estrogen). In this bound state, SHBG transports these hormones in the blood as biologically inactive forms.
Fairview peak is the highpoint of a compact range of mountains south of US 50 in central Churchill Co., NV. What the peak lacks in quality hiking (it's a drive up for 4WD vehicles), it makes up for in summit views. The peak, a Nevada 2,000' prominence summit, offers unobstructed views for miles in all directions.
Highest Peaks in the Sierra Nevada. There are over 120 peaks in the Sierra Nevada over 13,000 ft (3,962 meters), including the highest peak in the contiguous United States (Mt. Whitney, 14,494 ft.). The vast majority of these high peaks are located in southern part of the range. Only three peaks over 13,000 feet occur as far north as Yosemite National Park, in the central part of the Sierra Nevada (see a profile of the Sierra crest).
