HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index; HMW, high molecular weight; SHBG, sex hormone binding globulin; sOB-R, soluble form of the leptin receptor, T, testosterone.

Partial 1: Adjusted for age, race-ethnicity, menopausal status, physical activity, smoking status, education level, cycle day of blood draw, and study site.

Partial 2: Adjusted for Partial 1 plus fat mass.

Partial 3: Adjusted for Partial 2 plus HOMA-IR.

Partial 4: Adjusted for Partial 1 plus waist circumference.

Partial 5: Adjusted for Partial 2 plus SHBG in the case of T, and T in the case of SHBG.

Partial 6: Adjusted for Partial 2–all adipose hormones adjusted for each other.
