Cytokines (pg/ml)	Lower T	Higher T	P
SDF-1α	1135 ± 76.66	899.30 ± 80.32	0.031*
Eotaxin	28.06 ± 4.91	14.90 ± 3.13	NS
MCP-1	73.07 ± 20.87	68.34 ± 24.06	NS
MIP-1β	57.51 ± 9.32	44.40 ± 11.83	NS

lower T: lower testosterone; higher T: higher testosterone; SDF-1α: stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha; MCP-1: monocyte chemotactic protein-1; MIP-1β: macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta; NS: not significant. Data are shown as the mean ± SEM. *Represents a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05)
