Association of total testosterone, free testosterone, bioavailable testosterone and sex hormone–binding globulin with hepatic steatosis and the ratio of aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase
In conclusion, our study shows that TT and SHBG are inversely associated with the risk of hepatic steatosis, and positively associated with AST/ALT ratios, independent of age, smoking, alcohol consumption and physical activity. Furthermore, the decrease of the AST/ALT ratios in men with hepatic steatosis is because of the elevated ALT levels.
