Table 8 Pearson correlation coefficient between serum testosterone, serum cortisol, percentages of sperm abnormalities and vitalities in examined male camels

From: Camel filariasis (Dipetalonema evansi) and its association with clinical balanoposthitis with reference to prominent changes in clinical findings, serum testosterone, semen analysis, and testicular histopathology

  1. Sr. Serum. Spr. Vit. (%): Sperm vitality Spr. Abnr. (%): Sperm abnormalities percentages. Pv: P value. **Significant (two-tailed) p < 0.01. Gray backgrounds referred to correlation between the same parameter e.g. Sr. testosterone and Sr. testosterone where there was no correlation. Diagonal backgrounds referred that this correlation was previously reported in the previous row e.g. correlation between Sr. testosterone and Sr. Cortisol was reported in row 1 and so there was no need to repeat it at row 2
