Relative 5β- (5βTHF/cortisol, 5βTHE/cortisone) and 5α- (5αTHF/cortisol) reduction of cortisol and the balance of 5β- and 5α-reductases (5βTHF/5αTHF) in PCOS normal responders-NR, intermediate responders-IR and high responders-HR, and in controls. Data are means ± SD.

P= 0.049, P= 0.053, P= 0.825, and P= 0.044 for comparison in 5βTHF/cortisol, 5βTHE/cortisone, 5αTHF/cortisol, and 5βTHF/5αTHF levels, respectively, among the three groups of PCOS (NR, IR, HR) by one-way ANOVA.
