Comparison of the serum AMH and LH/FSH ratio between the three subgroups of the PCOS patients.
| ANOVA | Multiple comparisons | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F value | P value | Subgroups | Mean ± Sd. | p value | |
| AMH (ng/mL) | 3.38 | 0.04 | T | 7.23 ± 3.61 | 0.039 (vs non-T) |
| Non-T | 5.86 ± 3.98 | 0.746 (vs non-HA) | |||
| Non-HA | 5.73 ± 3.82 | 0.045 (vs T) | |||
| LH/FSH | 0.47 | 0.63 | T | 1.82 ± 1.28 | 0.962 (vs non-T) |
| Non-T | 1.83 ± 1.39 | 0.396 (vs non-HA) | |||
| Non-HA | 1.57 ± 1.86 | 0.356 (vs T) | |||
T subgroup (hyperandrogenemia (HA) with T elevated), non-T subgroup (HA with other androgens elevated but T, such as A2, DHT, DHEA or DHEAS), non-HA subgroup (no androgen elevated). A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by a LSD (Least Significant Difference) test, was used in comparison among three groups.
