Figure 1 Preovulatory ovarian hormones and TAC in the different etiologies of infertility. 1, male-factor infertility (n = 56); 2, unexplained infertility (n = 36); 3, tubal factor infertility (n = 16); 4, PCOS (n = 15); and 5, endometriosis (n = 7). Data are presented as mean ± SEM, ★P<.05, ★★P<.001. Closed bars represent serum values, and open bars represent FF values. (A) Serum and FF AMH (ng/mL) in the different etiologies of infertility. (B) Serum (pg/mL) and FF (ng/mL) inhibin A in the different etiologies of infertility. (C) Serum (pg/mL) and FF inhibin B (ng/mL) in the different etiologies of infertility. (D) Follicular fluid activin A (ng/mL) in the different etiologies of infertility. (E) Serum (pg/mL) and FF (ng/mL) E2 in the different etiologies of infertility. (F) Plasma and FF TAC (μmol/L) in the different etiologies of infertility.

Figure 2 Preovulatory ovarian hormones and TAC in the different responder groups: 1, poor responders (<5 oocytes; n = 11); 2, normal responders (5–10 oocytes; n = 57); and 3, good responders (>10 oocytes; n = 62) ★P<.05, ★★P<.001. Closed bars represent serum values, and open bars represent FF values. (A) Serum and FF AMH (ng/mL) in the different responder groups. (B) Serum (pg/mL) and FF (ng/mL) inhibin A in the different responder groups. (C) Serum (pg/mL) and FF (ng/mL) inhibin B in the different responder groups. (D) Follicular-fluid activin A (ng/mL) in the different responder groups. (E) Serum (pg/mL) and FF (ng/mL) E2 in the different responder groups. (F) Plasma and FF TAC (μmol/L) in the different responder groups.
