Fig. 2 Change in serum prolactin, body weight, and blood glucose over time. Serum prolactin level was decreased significantly at month 6 relative to month 0 (*p<0.05, Bonferroni). Body weight and blood glucose did not significantly differ over time. Asian Journal of Psychiatry 2017 25, 36-41DOI: (10.1016/j.ajp.2016.10.005) Copyright © 2016 Elsevier B.V. Terms and Conditions
Fig. 3 Correlation between changes in serum prolactin relative to baseline at month 0. A significant negative correlation was observed (Spearman’s r=−0.99, p<0.01). Asian Journal of Psychiatry 2017 25, 36-41DOI: (10.1016/j.ajp.2016.10.005) Copyright © 2016 Elsevier B.V. Terms and Conditions
Fig. 4 GAF evaluation scores. A one-way ANOVA and subsequent multiple comparison tests revealed significant score improvements at months 1, 3, and 6 relative to month 0 (*p<0.05, Bonferroni).
