2 FIGURE 1 Individual values of the T-SHBG ratio in oligoamenorrheic or amenorrheic athletes (OAM), regularly menstruating athletes (RM), and sedentary controls (CTR). The clinical cutoff value of the T-SHBG ratio for hyperandrogenism (0.05) is indicated. Rickenlund. Hyperandrogenicity among female athletes. Fertil Steril 2003.

3 FIGURE 2 Individual values of free T, SHBG, A, and LH-FSH ratio in hyperandrogenic, oligoamenorrheic, or amenorrheic athletes (H-OAM); normoandrogenic oligoamenorrheic or amenorrheic athletes (N-OAM); regularly menstruating athletes (RM); and sedentary controls (CTR). Significant differences between H-OAM and the other groups are indicated. *P=.05, **P=.01, ***P=.001. Rickenlund. Hyperandrogenicity among female athletes. Fertil Steril 2003.
