Serum SHBG concentrations (nmol/L) in non-NAFLD subjects and NAFLD patients. Serum levels of SHBG in individuals with or without NAFLD stratified by sex (a), BMI (b) and HOMA-IR (c). The box plots display median values and 25th and 75th percentiles; the whiskers represent 25th percentiles - 1.5 * interquartile range and 75th percentiles + 1.5 * interquartile range. (d) Multivariable adjusted means (SEM) of SHBG (log-transformed) according to the severity of NAFLD. After being logarithmically transformed, SHBG was adjusted for age, postmenopausal status (for females), household income, WHR, trunk fat, current smoking and drinking, physical activity (MET), hypertension and diabetes, serum glucose, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), TG, HDL-C, ALT, UA, testosterone and DHEAS levels using ANCOVA
