Figure 5 Scatter plots showing the correlation between inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) levels and total bile acid (TBA), cholyglycine (CG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). (A) Correlation between TBA levels and iNOS (r=−0.450, P<0.001); (B) correlation between CG levels and iNOS (r=−0.367, P<0.001); (C) correlation between ALT levels and iNOS (r=−0.359, P<0.001); and (D) correlation between AST levels and iNOS (r=−0.329, P<0.001).
