Associations between levels of inflammatory markers and total and free testosterone as well as estradiol concentrations in serum.

All inflammatory markers have been log-transformed prior to analysis. All calculations are adjusted for age and fertility status, and when indicated also for BMI. Univariate regression analysis. CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index; TT, total testosterone; cFT, calculated free testosterone; E2, estradiol; IL, interleukin; EGF, epidermal growth factor; FGF2, fibroblast growth factor; IFNG, interferon gamma; IP10, interferon gamma-induced protein 10; MCP1, monocyte chemotactic protein 1; MIP1a, macrophage inflammatory protein 1-alpha; MIP1B, macrophage inflammatory protein 1-beta; TNFa, tumor necrosis factor alpha; hs-CRP, high sensitive c-reactive protein; *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01.
