Figure 3 Correlations of the Changes in HOMA With the Changes of hs-CRP

Changes in homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) versus changes in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) after 12 weeks of treatment. R = Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient; *p < 0.05 for test of |R| = 0; pioglitazone (filled diamonds), p = 0.0059; simvastatin (open triangles), p = 0.9112; pioglitazone plus simvastatin (filled crosses), p = 0.3848.
