Fig. 1 Levels of AMH in the serum of women who were HCV+, HBV+, or controls. (A) Mean serum levels (bars represent SD and bold lines inside the box plot median levels). Levels of significance: *p = 0.011; ^p = 0.009 (Mann–Whitney U-test). (B) Distributions of normal and menopausal serum levels of AMH among women in the HCV+, HBV+, and control groups. A significant difference was present between women who were HCV+ vs. those who were HBV+ (°) or controls (°°). Levels of significance: °,°°: p <0.0001 (Chi-square test). AMH, anti-Müllerian hormone.

Fig. 2 Relationship between IGF-1 and AMH levels in the serum of women who were HCV+ or HBV+. Different panels report the correlation between IGF-1 and (A) AMH, (B) liver stiffness, (C) grade of inflammation, and (D) stage. Lines represent the best-fit regression line for each subgroup. Data were analysed by Pearson correlation test. AMH, anti-Müllerian hormone; IGF, insulin-like growth factor.
