Associations of sex hormones with leptin.
Analysis of testosterone, estrone, androstendione, and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEAS) with body-mass-index (BMI) and leptin among men (upper part) and women (lower part). Linear regression adjusted for age, sex, smoking, physical activity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cholesterol.

Associations of sex hormones with BMI and leptin levels.
Estimated means of the body-mass-index (BMI) and leptin by tertiles of testosterone, estrone, androstenedione, and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEAS). Analysis of variance was adjusted for adjusted for age, sex, smoking, and physical activity.
