| Variables | Age (year) | BMI (kg m−2) | TT (ng ml−1) | CFT (ng ml−1) | BAT (ng ml−1) | PRL (ng ml−1) | LH (mIU ml−1) | FSH (mIU ml−1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| E2 (ng ml−1) | r=0.101, P=0.221 | r=0.202, P=0.017* | r=0.241, P=0.003* | r=0.389, P=0.000# | r=0.416, P=0.000# | r=0.157, P=0.068 | r=0.248, P=0.003* | r=0.117, P=0.300 |
*P<0.05; #P<0.01. BMI: body mass index; TT: total testosterone; CFT: calculated free testosterone; BAT: bioactive testosterone; E2: estradiol; PRL: prolactin; LH: luteinizing hormone; FSH: follicle-stimulating hormone
