Values are presented as the mean ± SD.

AOV, average ovarian volume; BMI, body mass index; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FAI, free androgen index; F-G score, Ferriman–Gallwey score; FSH, follicle-stimulating hormone; LH, luteinizing hormone; MDA, malondialdehyde; OSI, oxidative stress index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SHBG, sex hormone-binding globulin; T-AOC, total antioxidant capacity; TOS, total oxidant status; TT, total testosterone.

Comparisons of all parameters were corrected for differences in age and BMI between the 2 subgroups except the parameters of age and BMI.

^aP < 0.05, compared with the CC genotype subgroup in controls.
