Patient characteristics, embryo quality, and fertility in groups with low and high apoB concentration in FF

	All Patients			Patients Without Direct Ovarian Disorders
	ApoB (mg/L)			ApoB (mg/L)
	Low (≤13.6) (n = 14)	High (>13.6) (n = 13)	P	Low (≤13.6) (n = 9)	High (>13.6) (n = 9)	P
Age	35.3 ± 3.5	33.6 ± 4.7	0.366	34.8 ± 3.3	34.2 ± 5.9	0.832
BMI	21.2 ± 2.1	21.3 ± 3.8	0.417	22.2 ± 1.8	22.0 ± 4.6	0.647
IVF/ICSI (n)	8 / 6	7 / 6	0.863	5 / 4	4 / 5	0.637
ApoB (mg/L)	11.6 ± 0.8	16.6 ± 2.5	<0.0001	11.5 ± 0.7	16.4 ± 3.0	0.009
Top-quality embryos (n)	2.2 ± 2.8	3.0 ± 2.5	0.174	1.2 ± 1.3	4.0 ± 1.6	0.027
Grade 4 embryos (n)	1.6 ± 2.7	2.8 ± 2.2	0.034	0.6 ± 0.9	3.6 ± 1.5	0.011
Clinical pregnancy rate (%)	23.1	69.2	0.013	0.0	60.0	0.038

Continuous variables are means ± SD and were compared using Mann-Whitney U-test. Distribution of fertilization methods (IVF and ICSI) and clinical pregnancy data were compared by the chi-square test. BMI, body mass index. Boldface type indicates significant differences between low and high apoB groups.
