Relationship between disease severity and pituitary axis function.

Data are β coefficients of the linear regression. The multivariate linear regression model adjusted for age, sex, neuroleptic treatment, IGFBP3 when IGF-1 was in the model, and BMI when GH was in the model. *p≤0.10. **p≤0.05. ***p≤0.01. GH, growth hormone; IGF-1, insulin-like growth factor-I; ACTH, adrenocorticotropic hormone; TSH, thyroid stimulating hormone; FT3, free triiodothyronine; FT4, free total thyroxine; LH, luteinizing hormone; FSH, follicle-stimulating hormone; TT, testosterone; TFC, total functional capacity. †Only males were included (110 patients). ┤Only patients not taking neuroleptics were included (96 patients).
