Correlation between the levels of the HMW adiponectin and the total adiponectin in the FF and the number of follicles and larger follicular diameters among the women with and without PCOS undergoing IVF. The number of follicles had a strong negative relationship with the HMW adiponectin levels (r = −0.629, P = 0.003) (A) and the total adiponectin levels (r = −0.679, P = 0.001) (C) in the FF. B demonstrates that a positive linear correlation was observed between larger follicular diameters and HMW adiponectin levels in the FF (r = 0.474, P < 0.05). We did not find that the total adiponectin levels in the FF have strong linear relationships with larger follicular diameters (r = 0.431, P = 0.058) (D). The P-value for Spearman’s correlation tests.
