Abbreviations: Adj, adjusted; C, controls; CV, coefficient of variation; NS, not significant; T, treated with T; T-Flutamide, treated with T plus flutamide; T-Rosi, treated with T plus rosiglitazone. Values with different superscript letters (a, b) differ significantly (P < .05. NS values do not differ significantly (P > .05). All P values are shown as an adjusted P value (P adj).
