Testosterone levels stratified by hypogonadal status
| Laboratory test (mean ± SEM) | Hypogonadal (TT <300) | Eugonadal (TT ≥300) | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total testosterone (ng/dl) | 245.6 ± 4.12 (n = 836) | 439.9 ± 3.52 (n = 1326) | N/A |
| Bioavailable testosterone (ng/dl) | 86.1 ± 2.4 (n = 821) | 108.8 ± 1.3 (n = 1317) | <0.001 |
| Free testosterone (pg/ml) | 47.9 ± 1.03 (n = 834) | 63.9 ± 0.53 (n = 1325) | <0.001 |
| SHBG (nmol/l) | 43.7 ± 0.74 (n = 836) | 68.3 ± 0.87 (n = 1326) | <0.001 |
SEM, standard error of the mean; SHBG, sex hormone-binding globulin; TT, total testosterone; N/A, not applicable.
