Androgen levels according to degree of hirsutism
| Androgen | mFGS < 3 (N = 18) |
mFGS ≥ 3 (N = 12) |
P |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total testosterone ( ng/dL) | 35 ± 16 | 36 ± 11 | 0.8 |
| Free testosterone (ng/dL) | 0.6 (0.5,0.8) | 0.7 (0.4,0.8) | 0.8 |
| Androstenedione (ng/mL) | 2.3 (1,2.5) | 2.2 (1.3,2.7) | 0.6 |
| Dehydroepiandrosterone (ng/mL) | 13.5 (9.5,30.5) | 25 (15,31) | 0.3 |
| 17-hydroxy progesterone (ng/mL) | 0.5 (0.4,1.3) | 0.5 (0.3,1.7) | 0.8 |
| Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (ng/mL) | 1657 ± 830 | 2099 ± 1031 | 0.2 |
Values are expressed as median (interquartile range) or mean ± SD
While total testosterone was compared with Student's t test, other parameters were compared with Mann–Whitney U test
