Figure 2 Relationship between serum phosphorus and insulin (A), insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment; HOMA-IR) (B), and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D] (C) in women with PCOS. Relationship between serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and insulin (D) and HOMA-IR (E) as well as between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and age (F) in the normal-weight women with PCOS. The skewed variables (serum phosphorous, insulin, 1,25(OH)2D, PTH, 25(OH)D, and HOMA-IR) were logarithmically transformed to normality before regression analysis.
