Table 3. Multiple regression analysis of serum TG and pituitary hormones in the study.

Variables	TG (mmol/L)
	B	SE	95% CI of B	Beta	p value
LogTSH (mIU/L)	0.045	0.018	0.010, 0.081	0.260	0.013
FSH (mIU/mL)	0.561	0.205	0.154, 0.967	0.280	0.007
LH (mIU/mL)	0.394	0.135	0.127, 0.662	0.298	0.004
ACTH (pg/mL)	−1.240	0.493	−2.219, −0.260	−0.251	0.014

Data are B (unstandardized coefficients), SE (corresponding standard error), 95% CI of B, Beta (standardized coefficients) and p value

for linear regression analysis of TG.

Abbreviations: TG, Triglyceride; TSH, thyroid-stimulating hormone; FSH, follicle-stimulating hormone; LH, luteinizing hormone;

ACTH, adrenocorticotropin; FT3, free triiodothyronine; FT4, free thyroxine; T, testosterone; COR, cortisol.

Values shown were adjusted for Age, BMI, FPG, SBP and corresponding target gland hormones (LogTSH was adjusted for FT3 and FT4; both FSH and LH were adjusted for T; ACTH was adjusted for COR).

TSH was transformed to its natural logarithm to optimize the models. A value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
