The data are represented as Mean ± SD

Statistical significance (P < 0.05) is shown in the table with superscripts a, b, c and d

a compares 3H or 5H versus 0; b compares 5H versus 3H; c compares PCOS values versus respective control values at different time point; and d compares intralipid values versus respective saline values

CTRPs C1Q/TNF related proteins, GDFs Growth differentiation factors
