Data are expressed as β coefficient (P value). Predictors (constant): 25(OH)VD3, age, total cholesterol, BMI, smoking, varicocele. Dependent variable: total testosterone, free testosterone, LH, FSH, SHBG. *P≤0.05 is considered statistically significant difference. 25(OH)VD3: 25-hydroxy-vitamin D3; BMI: body mass index; LH: luteinizing hormone; FSH: follicle-stimulating hormone; SHBG: sex hormone-binding globulin
