Effect of interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) on adiponectin secretion in adipose tissue of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and control women. The graphs depict the log scale means of the absolute adiponectin levels in picograms per milliliter (panels A to C) and the net changes in log adiponectin concentration (panels D to F) secreted by PCOS and control adipocytes in response to incubation with 10 ng/mL IL-6 (A and D), MCP-1 (B and E), and TNF-α (C and F). All values were log-transformed before analysis. Sample numbers (n) per group are indicated for each experiment.
