Vit D status in CU patients and healthy controls at baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment. a. Quantification of serum 25(OH)₂D levels in CU patients and healthy controls at baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment. Data represents 147 CU patients and 130 healthy controls. Error bars represent SEM. Paired t-test was used to calculate the difference within groups and Bonferroni independent samples t-test was used to calculate the level of difference between groups. **P < 0.01and ***P < 0.0001. b. Comparative analysis of baselineVit D levels in male and female CU patients and healthy controls. Error bars represent SEM. Number of patients in each group is represented in parentheses. **P < 0.01. c. Serum 25(OH)₂D levels in CU patients undergoing treatment under three regimens at baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment. Patients were treated with protocols VD, H + S and VD + H + Sand serum Vit D was measured at baseline and after 6 weeks. Paired t-test was used to calculate the difference within groups. Error bars represent SEM. **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.0001.
