Table 2. Covariation of the diurnal patterns of the hormones.
InhB | AMH | Testosterone | |
---|---|---|---|
InhB | - | 0.06 (p = 0.48) | 1.26 (p = 0.001)* |
AMH | 0.06 (p = 0.48) | - | -0.30 (p = 0.65) |
Testosterone | 1.26 (p = 0.001)* | -0.30 (p = 0.65) | - |
INSL3 | 0.09 (p = 0.049)* | 0.03 (p = 0.43) | 0.07 (p = 0.68) |
The covariation between time points for each of the testicular hormones were calculated for 20 men using mixed model analysis, and expressed as the covariation β coefficient (p value). Note that the data is normalised to the daily mean, and is therefore independent of the absolute levels of the men’s hormones.
