N = 12

N = 24

P-value

Ovarian Volume (cm 3 )

4.98 ± 2.91

9.13 ± 3.98

P = <0.01a

Ovarian Area (cm 2 )

41.3 ± 16.3

47.4 ± 17.4

P = 0.31

Stromal Volume (cm 3 )

0.59 ± 0.66

11.4 ± 4.57

P = <0.001 a

Stromal Area (cm 2 )

8.12 ± 5.46

13.9 ± 6.10

P = <0.01 a

S/A ratio

4.37 ± 1.58

7.49 ± 4.45

P = <0.05 a

  1. Values are mean ± SD;
  2. S/A ratio = ratio between the stromal and the total ovarian area
  3. a P < 0.001 (Student's t test) PCOS vs control group
