Variability of adipokines and their ratios between ovulatory and aPCOS groups. a, c Density plots showing distribution of adipokines. b Comparison of adipokines and their ratios between case and control groups. Mann–Whitney U test was used to assess significance of difference of adipokines and their ratios between ovulatory and aPCOS groups. d Comparison of adipokines and their ratios. Kruskal–Wallis H test was used to assess significance of difference of adipokines and their ratios between ovulatory (OC), non-obese (NOP), and obese PCOS (OP) groups. Post-hoc multiple comparisons was by Dunn’s test. ns not significant, *significant at p < 0.05, ***significant at p < 0.0001
