TSH, thyroid-stimulating hormone; FT4, free thyroxine; FT3, free triiodothyronine; TPOAb, thyroid peroxidase antibody; TgAb, thyroglobulin antibody; AMH, anti-Müllerian hormone. Note. Rank the TgAb data and use the rank order as the measurement variable for ANOVA analysis, there is a statistical difference, and value is 0.001. Furthermore, pairwise comparison results show that a statistical difference between low and normal ovarian reserve (); #a statistical difference between low and high ovarian reserve ().
