  1. Data is shown as means ± SD or median and interquartile ranges.
  2. aT ≥ 2.44 nmol/L subgroup compared with T < 2.44 nmol/L subgroup of PCOS, P < 0.05 means significantly different.
  3. P: PCOS group, non P: non PCOS group, BMI: body mass index, E2: estradiol, T: testosterone, FSH: follicle-stimulating hormone, LH: luteinizing hormone.
