Fig. 1From: An inverse association between serum soluble receptor of advanced glycation end products and hyperandrogenism and potential implication in polycystic ovary syndrome patientsThe levels of AGEs and sRAGE in different groups were divided according to anthropometric parameters. Data are mean ± SE. AGEs, advanced glycation end products. sRAGE, soluble receptor of AGEs. BMI, body mass index. WC, waist circumference. a and b represent the levels of serum AGEs and sRAGE in different groups were divided according to BMI. NW, the normal weight group (BMI <24 kg/m2, n = 53). OW, the overweight group (24 ≤ BMI < 28 kg/m2, n = 50). OB, the obesity group (BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2, n = 45). P value for analysis of variance for differences between groups: * < 0.05 compared with NW, ** < 0.01 compared with NW. # < 0.05 compared with OW, ## < 0.01 compared with OW. c and d represent the levels of serum AGEs and sRAGE in different groups were divided according to WC. non AO, non-abdominal obese group (WC ≤85 cm, n = 67). OA, abdominal obese group (WC >85 cm, n = 81). P value for analysis of variance for differences between groups: * < 0.05, ** < 0.01Back to article page
