The effects of metformin treatment on the endocrine and metabolic alterations in female F1 offspring. (A) Body weight changes in female F1 offspring (PCOS-IR group, n = 19; PCOS-IR+Met group, n = 48; Control group, n = 46). a P < 0.05 PCOS-IR vs. Control, b P < 0.05 PCOS-IR+Met vs. Control, c P < 0.05 PCOS-IR vs. PCOS-IR+Met, ANOVA; (B–E) Glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and T changes in female F1 offspring (PCOS-IR group, n = 19; PCOS-IR+Met group, n = 48; Control group, n = 46). There were no significant changes during those groups, ANOVA.
