Table 1 . Genetic and immunologic characteristics between controls and DHEA-treated mice .

	Healthy controls (n = 9)	PCOS models (n = 26)	p value
Weight gain (g)	7.94 ± 0.79	8.19 ± 1.29	0.168
ESR (mm/h)	0.93 ± 0.31	2.96 ± 0.56	< 0.000*
CRP (ng/mL)	82.46 ± 41.21	188.68 ± 66.90	< 0.000*
MN frequency (per 1000 cells)	2.33 ± 2.23	6.22 ± 3.28	< 0.000*
Arbitrary units (per 100 cells)	184± 76	277± 92	0.005*

Values are given as median (interquartile range). *p < 0.05 statistically significant (two tails). ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate; CRP: C-Reactive Protein; MN: Micronucleus.
