Figure 6

The effect of adiponectin (10  g/mL-A10 and 1  g/mL-A1) on insulin-stimulated (I; 10 ng/mL) and/or LH-stimulated (10 ng/mL) (a) progesterone, (b) oestradiol, and (c) androstenedione secretion by cultured theca interna cells collected on days 17–19 of the oestrous cycle. Bars with different superscripts are significantly different ( ). Results are means ± S.E.M. of five replicates.
