Figure 1 Box plot showing serum total testosterone levels in patients after luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone H agonist therapy measured using isotope dilution-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry as function of body mass index (BMI). Patient groups classified as normal weight (BMI <25 kg/m2), overweight (BMI 25-30 kg/m2), or obese (BMI >30 kg/m2). Upper and lower quartiles represented by rectangle; 95% confidence interval by whiskers. Differences between groups were not statistically significant. (Color version available online.)
