Abstract |
The aim of the present study was to determine the association, if any,
between the circulating levels of gonadal and adrenal sex steroids in the midluteal phase (21st day of a normal menstrual cycle, MC) of young professional women and psychometric parameters as assessed by the official Greek translation of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI).
RESULTS: Our results are as follows:
a. The metabolic product of activated adrenal and gonadal androgens,
3alpha-diolG, was modestly but significantly associated with the social
introversion scale (10-SI) (Spearman ρ=0.36, p<0.05), independently
accounting for 13% of its variation across participants (R2=0.13, F(1.45)=6.58, p<0.01).
b. Total testosterone was significantly associated with the paranoia
scale (6-Pa) (Spearman ρ=0.27, p<0.05). Multiple regression analyses indicated that 10% of the variability in paranoia scores could be independently explained by total testosterone levels (R2=0.10, F(1.57)=6.23, p<0.01). We were unable to find any association between the circulating androgens and scores on the masculinity-femininity scale (Mf). We were also unable to document any association between the weak adrenal androgens DHEA and DHEA-S and depression in contrast to several published reports.
c. Our data suggest a marginally significant association between
progesterone and scores on the 7-Pt (obsessive / compulsive /
psychasthenia) scale (Spearman ρ=0.27, p<0.05). However, only 7% of the
7-Pt variance was explained by progesterone (R2=0.071, F(1.50)=3.81,
p<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: We have found that total testosterone was associated with the paranoia score, the metabolic product of activated androgens, 3alpha-diolG, to social introversion and, finally, progesterone to obsessive-compulsive behavior.
