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).
