Hormonal descriptive statistics, expressed as mean ± standard error, of participants in the two groups, berberine (B; n = 51) and control (C; n = 55), at enrolment and after 90 days of treatment.

Group/Parameter	Baseline	After 90 days	p*
B/AMH (ng/mL)	5.00 ± 0.39	5.16 ± 0.39	n. s
C/AMH (ng/mL)	4.80 ± 0.37	4.07 ± 0.37	n. s
B/Free-T (ng/dL)	7.25 ± 2.09	5.55 ± 2.09	n. s
C/Free-T (ng/dL)	5.99 ± 2.01	5.76 ± 2.01	n. s
B/FSH (UI/L)	6.78 ± 1.36	6.09 ± 1.35	n. s
C/FSH (UI/L)	7.13 ± 1.31	9.93 ± 1.31	n. s
B/LH (UI/L)	9.88 ± 1.33	10.87 ± 1.33	n. s
C/LH (UI/L)	15.31 ± 1.28	14.37 ± 1.28	n. s

Statistics calculated as a comparison between “baseline” and between “after 90 days” values demonstrated not significant differences. *statistics calculated as “after 90 days” versus “baseline. AMH, Anti-Mullerian Hormone; T, testosterone; FSH, Follicle-Stimulating Hormone; LH, luteinizing hormone; n. s., not significant.
