Transient hyperandrogenemia and its relation to ovulation João Martin Martins, M.D., Francisco Carreiras, M.D., António Afonso, M.D., João Falcão, M.D., José Charneco da Costa, M.D. Fertility and Sterility Volume 70, Issue 4, Pages 664-670 (October 1998) DOI: 10.1016/S0015-0282(98)00258-1
FIGURE 1 Number of patients with serum hyperandrogenemia as shown by increased levels of A (□), DHEAS (■), and total T (TT) ( ) either permanently or in the first phase (days 2–5) or the second phase (days 22–25) determinations. Fertility and Sterility 1998 70, 664-670DOI: (10.1016/S0015-0282(98)00258-1)
FIGURE 2 Number of patients with transient hyperandrogenemia as shown by phase-related increased levels of A (□), DHEAS (■), and total T (TT) ( ), considered separately for patients with ovulatory and delayed or anovulatory cycles. Fertility and Sterility 1998 70, 664-670DOI: (10.1016/S0015-0282(98)00258-1)
FIGURE 3 Regression between first-phase (I) (days 2–5) and second-phase (II) (days 22–25) determinations of DHEAS (n = 48, r = 0.681, P < 0.001). Both the regression line and the 95% confidence interval for the mean of individual observations are presented. Individual observations are shown for patients with ovulatory cycles (•) and delayed or anovulatory cycles (▿). Fertility and Sterility 1998 70, 664-670DOI: (10.1016/S0015-0282(98)00258-1)
FIGURE 4 Regression between first-phase (I) (days 2–5) and second-phase (II) (days 22–25) determinations of total T (TT) (n = 48, r = 0.547, P < 0.001). Both the regression line and the 95% confidence interval for the mean of individual observations are presented. Individual observations are shown for patients with ovulatory cycles (•) and delayed or anovulatory cycles (▿). Fertility and Sterility 1998 70, 664-670DOI: (10.1016/S0015-0282(98)00258-1)
