Baseline characteristics of 426 male patients with CAD according to testosterone tertiles. a Comparison of the prevalence of diabetes in CAD patients. b Comparison of the prevalence of hypertension in CAD patients. c Age, numbers of blood leukocytes and neutrophils, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, and serum concentrations of hs-CRP, UA, glucose, TC, TG, HDL-c, LDL-c, and GDF-15 across different testosterone tertiles. Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation. *Compared with CAD patients with testosterone levels lower than 254.90 ng/dL, p < 0.05; **compared with CAD patients with testosterone levels lower than 254.90 ng/dL, p < 0.001; ##compared with CAD patients with testosterone levels higher than 254.90 ng/dL, and lower than 360.49 ng/dL, p < 0.001
