Data are shown as r correlation coefficient. Significance levels are indicated by asterisks (*, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001). Correlation coefficients were estimated by Spearman’s correlation for all parameters. BMI, body mass index; FAI, free androgen index; HDL-c, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; M-clamp value, insulin sensitivity estimated with the euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp technique; NS, non-significant; SHBG, sex hormone-binding globulin.
