Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. There are used student t test and nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test. p values: p values denoting the outcomes of comparison of the parameters of biochemical obese patients with PCOS and obese control, non-obese patients with PCOS and non-obese control groups. p<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. CRP – C-reactive protein; TNF-α – tumor necrosis factor-α; IL-1 – interleukin-1; IL-6 – interleukin-6; NLR – neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio; TAG – triglyceride; Total-C – total cholesterol; FSH – follicle-stimulating hormone; LH – luteinizing hormone; E2 – Estradiol2; F.test – free testosterone; BMI – Body Mass Index; WHG – waist-to-hip ratio; FG score – Ferriman-Gallowey score; Fasting B.G. – fasting blood glucose.
