Effect of exercise on CTRP2, CTRP9, GDF-8 and GDF-15 levels
| CTRPs & GDFs | Control Subjects (N = 9) |
P-value | PCOS Subjects (N = 10) |
P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CTRP-2, ng/mL | 0.02 (− 0.27, 0.32) | 0.85 | 0.19 (− 0.18, 0.56) | 0.28 |
| CTRP-9, ng/mL | −2.88 (−31.17, 25.42) | 0.82 | −2.31 (−14.72, 10.09) | 0.68 |
| GDF-8, ng/mL | −1.03 (−1.99, − 0.06) | 0.04 | −1.54 (−2.91, − 0.17) | 0.03 |
| GDF-15, ng/mL | − 0.01 (− 0.16, 0.14) | 0.84 | 0.03 (− 0.19, 0.25) | 0.75 |
The data are expressed as the difference between the values after and before exercise expressed as mean and (95% CI)
CTRPs C1Q/TNF related proteins, GDFs Growth differentiation factors
Student’s paired t-test was done to determine the significant difference within control and PCOS subjects respectively
