2. Figure 1
Changes in AUC OGTT insulin (A) and AUC OGTT glucose (B) after metformin or OCP treatment for 6 months. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Data were assessed with use of repeated-measures ANOVA with time as the within-subject factor and intervention as the between-subject factor. ∗Significant differential effect of treatment (P<.001) with decrease in AUC insulin for metformin (P=.003) and increase for OCP (P<.001). ∗∗Significant differential effect of treatment (P=.011) with increase in AUC glucose for OCP (P<.001).

3. Figure 2
Changes in endothelial function: flow-mediated dilation (FMD) (A), vWF (B), PAI-1 (C), and ADMA (D) after metformin or OCP treatment for 6 months. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Data were assessed with use of repeated-measures ANOVA with time as the within-subject factor and intervention as the between-subject factor. ∗Significant differential effect of treatment (P=.037) with increase in flow-mediated dilation for metformin (P=.017). ∗∗Significant differential effect of treatment (P=.038) for vWF with significantly higher vWF levels for the OCP group after treatment (P=.012). †Significant differential effect of treatment (P=.017) with greater decrease in PAI-1 for OCP (P<.001) and decrease in PAI-1 for metformin (P=.044). ††Significant differential effect of metformin or OCP treatment (P<.001) for ADMA for all subjects.
