Spearmans correlation of total testosterone and sexual hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels with individual metabolic syndrome components and adipocytokine levels.
| Waist Circumference | Systolic BP | Diastolic BP | FBG | TG | HDL | Leptin | Adiponectin | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total testosterone | −0.128** | −0.064 | −0.088* | −0.094* | −0.103* | 0.066 | −0.156** | 0.138** |
| SHBG | −0.245** | −0.062 | −0.055 | −0.115** | −0.359** | 0.244** | −0.240** | 0.315** |
| Adiponectin | −0.341** | −0.145** | −0.146** | −0.287** | −0.419** | 0.444** | −0.338** | 1 |
| Leptin | 0.648** | 0.158** | 0.217** | 0.234** | 0.326** | −0.237** | 1 |
Abbreviation: SHBG = sex hormone binding globulin; BP = blood pressure; FBG = fasting blood glucose; TG = Triglyceride; HDL = high density lipoprotein.
